Yesterday (Wednesday) we continued to work some more. The drainage ditch has gotten to the point where we need to make more concrete slabs in order to continue, so everyone worked up on the bathrooms. The morning was cold compared to others and it eventually started raining. We all got to wear some pretty awesome rain gear and our cement mixer even had its own colorful umbrella to protect it. By lunch time the rain had gone and the sun came out for the afternoon. A thunderstorm came just as we were cleaning up and it started pouring while we were getting ready for supper. We got to see the drainage ditch in action!
Today (Thursday) was a sight-seeing day, but it started out with pouring rain. We had devotions and discussed religion while we waited for the rain to subside. However, we couldn't wait forever, so we headed out to the Roman ruins near Zajecar. We explored in the rain which was quite the adventure. As we were leaving, we saw the American ambassador on his way to the ruins. After the ruins, we went to see a friend of Branko's who is a potter. At 76, he had evidence of his many years of work. As we got to explore his rooms and rooms of beautiful pottery, he kept pulling out more and more. We eventually headed back to Branko's, and then headed to a pizzeria for lunch. The pizza was made in a brick oven and tasted very good. We spent the rest of the day exploring Zajecar and relaxing at Branko's.
