This weekend, while in staying in Suceava, I got to spend time with Mihaela’s family. It was great. And then it snowed! I love the snow. Although, it didn’t snow a lot in Suceave it snowed tons in the mountains. It was the major story on the news Monday morning! Sadly, there is no snow [...]

This weekend I went to Stroiesti to visit the families there. I also passes out hats, gloves and lollipops to all the kids. I gave out some coats and snow pants to those who needed them (many children got coats this summer). It was the first time I was able to go into some of [...]

Today, I was able to buy a new month pass for the trams here in Oradea..ALL BY MYSELF!!! It might not sound like a big deal, but to me it is huge. When I arrived, I couldn’t even buy meat from the deli and if the cashier asked me something, I just looked at her [...]
A change in plans

Number one rule of missions: be flexible. So this morning, Mihaela picked me up and took me to the station. It wasn’t very busy (possibly due to the rumors of the strike), so we quickly got a ticket and patiently waited. About the time the train was to pull into the station, we hear announcements [...]

While in the village, [...]
