Just so you know, the Museum of Socialism in Sofia is closed on Mondays. Heck, you may already know this but I didn't find out until yesterday. That's when dragged a friend along with me to go and check out the museum and it was closed.

Apparently museums do this in Sofia.

Who knew? I am always working on Mondays or it's a national holiday and I know museums don't work on national holidays. I've tried to do that once or twice. Since then I've learned my lesson but really, I think is a little silly because really that's a perfect time to be open. Think about how many people would be free to go then.

Anyhow the museum was closed. I've been thinking about going since October when the museum opened so I guess another few weeks doesn't matter much. I wasn't too heartbroken. I just felt silly about not checking the actual museum times before lining A. up to come with me.  I guess these things happen sometimes.

So we talked about how ugly the Bulgarian DMV (you know, the Department of Motor Vehicles) is instead. It's right next to the museum.

You know some girls make wishes on shooting stars or when blowing out birthday candles. <em>Not me</em>. Instead, I wished on the Bulgarian DMV building that I never-ever have to deal with the bureaucracy there.

I'll wrap all of this up on this note: for the last week I've been calling the museum, the Museum of Communism. Turns out that's the wrong name. It's the Museum of Socialism. There you have it. The museum visit that wasn't.
