As always my time here is too short. Anyone that knows me well knows I love this country and could easily live here. I like the life here, the simple life. I don’t care about the hardships, the frustrations….I still could live here. I can listen to the Romanians talk and understand a lot. I think given about 4 months I would be speaking it enough to communicate.

Don’t worry I do have other stories that I am going to write about my trip here and some really exciting events. Some of those will get posted after I come back. I got sick and had a disaster of a connection when I was in Tirgoviste. Tonight I’ve had my Romanian Theraflu and hopefully in the morning I feel much better. I couldn’t even eat tonight.

Enough of the whining about my illness…I’m just super thankful that the clouds apparently opened up and the ash fell away and I can fly. It is 8 hours later than planned but I can still take my trip to Sofia. I hope I’m not a coughing mess though! My colleagues were worried about my plans to come there too but are happy that I will still be coming. I cannot believe there was a single spot open!

I love the ability to have a phone here all the time with my OneSim Card. Although I’m begging people to call me! LOL

I think I may turn in early, sleep a little late. Get up and see the kids one last time and say my goodbyes. Then I will come pack, what a feat that will be. I thought I got lighter but with all the gifts and presents from everyone and what I bought I might have added weight. Glad I didn’t have to maneuver all my stuff through the train.

I just had to do a spell check and messed up on the sentence above and inserted manure. Figures. Noapte Buna!
