What a day. Here's to our counterparts doing SO much planning for the last few days. They found us a temporary place to stay. They made sure we didn't starve. They made sure to take us to beautiful sights ion the way to and in Plovdiv Omore to come).
And, today, they arranged for a real estate agent to show us a few apartment options. There are a few pictures below from some of them. This was to get an idea of what we were looking for, so that, when we come back in a month, we can find a permanent place quickly. Tough decision!
Then, we went to the Bachkovski Monastery in Bachkovo, along with a few other colleagues. Gorgeous. I only have a few pictures because I found out that I wasn't supposed to take pictures (oops) too late.
Saint Stephan and Saint Kiril are burried there. They helped save many Jews during WW2 (see picture below w/ description). Very cool.
To top off the day, we had dinner outside on a patio before we headed home to pack.
Alas, Plovdiv, we will leave you at 7 am tomorrow. But, we'll be back soon!
Until then, we can't wait to get back and spend some time catching up with our Bulgarian families & our fellow volunteers!
Til next time...
