Ristorantes...







...the place is Porta Osio - 
Bergamo, Lombardy, Italia! 


Café COSTA - in Sofia, Bulgaria 
--- muito melhor do que o Starbucks! 





Old Quebec City... c'est dingue, hein




Conegliano Pizzeria - and more - in the village of German, 
Bulgaria --- their new slogan is priceless: 
''FREE BEER - TOMORROW'' 


What a nice, welcoming decor, too... 






Various restaurantes em Portugal ~ 
Algarve; Carvoeiro, Portimâo, etc... 




Don Carvoeiro: 
na Rampa do Paraiso (No 18) 
- complete with an uncompromising view of the 
magnificence that was voted BEST BEACH IN EUROPE in 2018 
... surprising menu (including a DRACULA shish kebab!) 
... and a no-nonsense staff that makes you wonder 
if you are in Portugal or in Romania really?!? 
Épa, cara...! 






GODZILA 
- in Varna, cultural hub of Bulgaria; 
not too far from King Kong's burgers joint! 




... mas o melhor ristorante de sempre 
is always... HOME!

Vacations 2016 - Retrospective 3 of 3


Sofia watches on...


Purple Bunny!
Roaming The World...
Protector of the Streets of Sofia?
(Or is it Burgas?
Lest it is Varna?
Ohh - I'm all mixed up; where am I now?!?)


Not PISA... for damn sure?!?

















... said streets which seem, at times, made of pure GOLD!


A pause for a meeting of the minds...

And off we go - for lunch!






After that - the exploration of the urban landscape resumes:








...not WHAT?

Never mind!
Let's... move on!

















Unbelievable that this was a hit at the box office HERE - 
but not in the USofA or the 51st through 63rd other states...
otherwise known as CANADA!


... so THAT's what it was - of course!
NEVER MIND - NEED KAFE!







AH, SI - this is for the Epicurean that I can be!



Hey... CHARLES! 
You have your own restaurant there now...!!!
Well... so does AUDREY...


AND GODZILLA.
(Gojira? Gobzila? Let's call the whole thing off!!!)


A far better menu than your perennial rival in Sofia...
KING KONG BURGERS.

But that's another story...



Good for you, GOJI...


But now - it's time for a DRINK!
(On va de Gojira au gosier - pardi!)
And we have to turn to JOHNNIE for that!


Eles teem CAFÉ tambem... JÀ SE SABIA...!

COFFEE is such a... transcendental experience in this part of the world!
Sensuous... Essential, on so many levels... Indescribable!
ANYWAY...


A little shopping now?






Who's the Lex Luthor wannabee? 
(Porque NÂO PODE QUERER SER o asno 
do Martin Matte - DE MANEIRA NEMHUMA...!!!)



AND BACK OUTSIDE FOR SOME FRESH AIR!





Ahhhhh - here is the baldy wannabee again; 
he sells LOTTERY TICKETS.
AT THE POST OFFICE.
I need a drink.


Or several!


And after all that binging... drinking... guzzling down all sorts of booze...
IT WAS ALL OF A SUDDEN TIME TO BOARD THE PLANE - 
AND GO BACK! BAAAAAA-AAAACK... to the future? Hell, no!


But never mind the details...
All that matters is this: 
AS I CONTEMPLATED MY FATE, THROUGH THAT TINY WINDOW...


I decided against any more drinks - only voda for me, all the way through!


The End...?
