Day 47 – 6 days left in the wakie

It has been a slow week here. On Monday, Sophia’s group was closed and divided up into other groups within the orphanage. Luckily Sophia was moved into a small group with three of her old friends. New the group now has 12 children and the caregivers are all much younger. Sophia has had a little bit of trouble adjusting to her new surroundings, caregivers and friends. She seems to have regressed slightly in her walking and talking. We think this is an indication of what it will be like when we get her home.

We spent the day touring some of the wonders of Svaliava. We went for some more of the famous mineral water, visited the 800 year old all wooden church (another famous site) and then went up into the mountains where we caught our own “forrae” a unique fish (related to the salmon family) which only lives in pure moving water and had it cooked for us on the roadside. This was probably the best fish we had ever eaten.

We have added some more pictures below of Sophia and our day.
