This will be a short post because it's well after midnight, and we're due at breakfast at 7:15 in the morning. We had a long evening of work, heading back to Berkovitsa for dinner, and then back to the Borovtsi center working until midnight. It was a crazy day of everyone pushing hard, but that meant people kept getting in each other's way. There's fast and furious painting, floor tiling, bathroom tiling, stair railing, drop ceiling installation, cleaning, and moving furniture. And I'm sure I've left something out! But still no classroom windows or front door - we're really hoping they arrive tomorrow. It's really shaping up.
We've heard some of the plans of the dedication ceremony on Saturday. Some of the honored guests that will be there are the Mayor of Borovtsi, the Mayor of Berkovitsa, the U.S. Ambassador to Bulgaria, and an EU Parliamentarian from the Netherlands. There will be several other visitors and guests as well. There will be flowers and food in addition to tours of the center. It's a milestone day.
Rachel and I did take the morning off and headed up to the old fortress at Balogradchik. There are amazing rock formations there, which the Romans took advantage of to build a fortress around in the first century. Various groups have used it over the centuries as well. It's a neat place.
Off to bed for the final push tomorrow....
