Each morning, Leyla Stefka would make us breakfast (wonderful, elaborate breakfasts - stuffed green peppers from her garden, chilled cucumber-yogurt soup, yummy phyllo dough cheese breads, and on and on). I would then give Wren her outdoor bath (many photos of this to come), and then we would head over to the station, just a 5 min walk from our house. Though it didn't look much different from the other houses, the station was a distinct anomaly in the town of Tabachka.
Not only was the entire purpose of the station somewhat suspicious (to study
bats?), it was technologically far and away ahead of the surrounding buildings, with ultrasonic recording equipment, high-speed infrared video cameras, respirometry chambers, a room full of bats, and - perhaps most useful! - high-speed internet (including wireless).
In her usual manner, the Wren took this all in stride and proceeded to make herself right at home. To all the bizarre station equipment, we added a high chair, some sippy cups and a plastic bin full of toys. Presto - a baby home! Here she is on one of the first days - high chair surrounded by car batteries, chargers, acoustic foam, and a camcorder or two. And she's already got Mango handfeeding her cheerios :).
