When we finally did all the jobs all by ourselves we really felt the difficult side of Bulgarian weather. We had umbrellas in the trench to work in shadow. Regardless one day was so hot that we needed to quit our job earlier. And finally we set our schedule earlier. It wasn't fun to wake up earlier because sleep in the mornings is the sweetest one but on the other hand it wasn't unsurmountable mission. I am used to wake up early and even though we don't want to admit it, morning are the most beautiful period of the day. Everything is so refreshing and clear. But in one beautiful morning after Bucharest there was different kind of weather. It was cloudy and windy. We thought that there is no work but we still prepared ourself for the work. Then we got news from professor that it is too windy to work but the weather forecast predicted better weather after noon, so we'll go work then. It was nice to sleep in one morning longer, especially after exhausting trip from Romania. After late breakfast there wasn't feeling that we are going to work. The wind was weaker but there was rain clouds coming closer.
But our wish didn't come true. We went on working but before that we visited The Candle House - Sveshtari. It was really modern house compered to the others in this village. European Union money 💶 It was nice house full of different types of candles and in the garden there was young sculptors pieces of work. Again, really modern ones. And there were dogs. The puppy was so cute, friendly and active. Armenians left us with some other workers to prepare for cultural evening. It was pretty producive day. Air temperature wasn't high and not too many workers. And we found bones, actually I don't remember was it on that day or not but let's pretend it was. We worked around an hour when downpour appeared. Everybody was in hurry to collect working tools and escape to the bus. When we reached to the hostel I just standed in the garden and let it rain over me. I just missed rain so much. I hadn't seen rain for 2 weeks by then. I was sick of those burning days and it was so refreshing standing there. Others probably thought that I am grazy Estonian. By the way in Estonia I try to avoid rain because it is cold, wet and bad. In that day Tsvety sent us an email to ask about our feelings. I sent her a photo of myself after being in a shower of the nature 😃

As I said before, it was a gift that we had swiss people working with use. On the other hand it was a suffering. Students kind of guided us and of course professors. But there was too many workers and not enough work for everybody. If you are working first time on this field and have no idea what to do, you are not so confident and better give up and just sit somewhere. I definately did it my way, I sat down scarf over my head. People were really concerned about my healt but in reality I was totally OK, I was protecting myself just for the sunlight. Soon you will understand that it's quite boring and you do everything to grab a shovel and start digging. Our favourite sentence on this time was "Do you want exchange?" Professors saw that there is no work at all and they made up new tasks. They weren't so useful but at least we something to do. For example one time we raked grass. It was funny, reminded me typical Estonian mid-summer day. And thank you Görkem that you helped me to clean my leggings. Those small things were all over my leggings like stickers. It was interesting cooperative with swiss people, they mainly spoke in French and we didn't understand nothing at all but it made our project even more multilingual. And swiss guys were so chilled. For example, I was scratching the ground when suddenly my tool broke. The blonde guy saied "Shit happens". Their attitude was so relaxed all the time. It is such a pity that our groups didn't blend together. There were always Geneva university group and our project group. The most prestigious one was of course "prantsuse keelt kõnelev isik" 😜 Haha, only Estonians can understand what I mean with that. And definately Jordan brought happiness in our days. He supervided us in the work being himself always so kind and helpful. One day he was singing "Bella ciao" and Shakira songs. Music always influences me and those songs were haunting in my head the whole week. Grazy thing. Even though we didn't communicate it was sad that students left us. Then we had work to do and even more responsible tasks but still...
