Our first working day wasn't really a working day. It was introductive day to Thracians history. We had breakfast with people from Switzerland. It was a pleasant surprise that we are going to work with university students. Because they knew how to work with those tools and guided us. On the other hand it was a bad thing because we didn't have enough work to do but this is an another story. At first we went to a Thracians tomb, where a tourist bus just has arrived, so it is bigger touristic attraction than somebody can expect from this little village. Prof talked us why Thracians were located just here and told us other interesting facts. Then we drove uphill to see a panoramic view. We visited medieval village and an old oak, everything was overgrown, but we were told that we are going to clean it up later in our project.
Next we went to Demir Baba Teke. Our bus parked next to an excavations, but it wasn't our working place. There were also camping places and local people spent their free time grilling there. There were running cold spring water, really refreshing. We went downstairs, a lot of stairs to step by 😀 The place itself was peaceful, little frogs were swimming around and the forest was surrounding the building. I entered to the mausoleum, it was interesting, I have never visited church like this kind of athmosphere. There were stange people praying in language I couldn't recognize. The weird clothes I saw, broken floor and the ancient smell inside, this all made me escape from this room. Those birds flying in and out was like in my childhood when swallows had a nest in my countyside's stable. Anyway it was a weird experience. Outside there was a wall and if you can walk few meters eyes closed and reach to the wall fingers in the holes your soul is innocent orsm? I didn't try it but it was entertaining to watch how others do it. I think Chiara hasn't done anything bad in her life because she hit those holes. I think my problems started from those stairs there. As I said a lot of steps, enough time to speak with somebody. But it was also a good task, we walked upstairs faster than others with Anna and we made ourself different work out tasks on the stairs. Good way to fill time when you are waiting for others. Later we came back to the tombs. We saw a not very well preserved tomb and we visited one covered tomb inside, it was so cool. It's always fascinating to see things that others can't. We also had an opportunity to visit most famous Thracians tomb but we were too big group, so we had to divided into 2 parts. We were outside waiting for another group and I was observing creatures who looked like chipmunks. They were sooooooo cute, running from a hole to another one. I really wish I could make one of those cute animals to my pet ☺️ It was also informing time while waiting there. Rashed told that Sveshtari is one of the hottest place in the summer and the coldest one in the winter. So, this area has a rough climatic location. By the way we picked some mint with Anna near to the tomb to make some tea. We dryed it in our room, it was a fantastic period because our room had home scent. Everybody knows that Estonians are gatherers, because most of us collect berries, herbs, mushrooms and vegetables by our own. In today's society it is so much easier to go into a market and just buy mint tea.
