Yesterday was HOT and I was so tired at the end of the day.....I just fell into bed without posting!
So here goes....some highlights from the past few days:
Two of the school teachers found out that we had not had "banitsas" (a traditional Bulgarian pastry) or "ayran" (a traditional yogurt drink)....so they made some and brought it for us on Tuesday morning!
The people here are so thoughtful and hospitable.
Banitsa with pumpkin and banitsa with cheese
These two girls are my new BFF's. Both named Ani!
We and the kids painted the fence and benches.
Later the girls made necklaces and did rainbow loom....they LOVE rainbow loom!
After some crafts, they took us to visit the museum of Peshtera.
Another photo from the museum. The school's history teacher gave us a personal tour!
My dinner. Which was surprisingly delicious!
On Wednesday, our team put in some new benches....
....and put up some new backboards to play basketball.
Borislava & I painted this rainbow on the school gate. She is an English teacher at the school in Peshtera, and my new friend. :)
This afternoon during some free time, we took a walk to see the clock tower.
The view from the clock tower. Peshtera is a beautiful town.
Tonight before dinner we had some "cheese fries" with Bulgarian cheese.
And this was our gargantuan dinner. Stuffed peppers.
Dinner here lasts for at least 2 hours. And I love it.....time to eat, time to talk and get to know each other, and no one asking me to cut their food. :)
Although I do miss my kids & Chad!
I am so thankful for all the amazing experiences we are having here in Peshtera. The people here are wonderful and God is on the move. :)
