Our last day with Calvin

This morning we went to the orphanage earlier than normal because our translator had to visit another orphanage in Varna. We visited from 9-11. What was great is that we got to take him outside by our selves in the backyard. He was so sweet. He held my hand the whole time, then Chris took him and pushed him on a swing. He sat on Chris' lap and just loved it. He was so good, and calm. I was sure he would be running from us but he didn't. We also got to see some of the other children in the orphanage, as they came out to play too. They were all bundled up so we didn't really see all of their faces. We were able to give the workers their gifts and then met with the director before we left. She was very nice to us and said that she appreciated us playing with Calvin's friends, and that she was happy he was getting a nice family. I started to get teary eyed and told her we appreciate all they do for the children and can tell they are loved and well cared for. She hugged us and said she hopes to see us soon. We also gave a gift to the security guard and he gave us a drawing he had done. It was awesome. We will put that in Calvin's momento box with some other souvenirs from Bulgaria. We then caught a taxi to Varna. We got to see some of the countryside and it started to snow. Once in Varna we went to the Archeology Museum for 1.5 hours and then went out to lunch. After lunch our translator went to visit Varna's orphanage so we went to a coffee shop and used the internet. She told us that Varna orphanage had a fire last night and had a lot of damage. Their food and clothes were burned but the children were alright. So sad! Vesta is going to give them donations. Rosi said the place was full of investigators, police and tv crews. After she picked us up from the cafe we went to the airport and flew out to Sophia at 5:55pm and got into Sophia 40 min later. We then dropped her off at her apartment and went to dinner at a place close by. One of the things we have to get used to is them bringing one meal out at a time. At the restaurant in Dobrich it wasn't so bad, but in Varna at lunch Rosi and Chris got their lunch first and my sandwich came out like 15 min later. At dinner Chris ordered pizza and finished it before my food came out 30 minutes later. Crazy. We have been skyping our kids each night, and love that we can see each other. I miss hugging them, I can't wait to get home now that we are done visiting Calvin. Vesta has really made us feel comfortable and they do such a good job with picking us up, getting us places to stay and translating for us at the orphanage. The workers there couldn't speak any English. Rosi left us for 15 min one day to take pictures of a girl on the otherside of the orphanage, and it was so hard trying to communicate with the workers. They shake their head from left to right to say yes, so confusing. I am saying da for yes and shaking my head no. Too funny. Thanks to all of you who have left comments on facebook or on here, it is so encouraging.
