Take a Walk with Me

A typical day here consists of considerable walking. We thought we would take you along our path to our language class through pictures.

A friend asked for some more shots of Romania….here we go.
Ok, a month ago we blogged about our muddy road. Well, wahla! This past week they started putting in a new road. We think they are planning on asphalting it next.

Take a look, Andy! (Andy is our supervisor who is currently in the States, and we are renting his home)

The walk to our tutor’s home takes about 20-30 minutes one way. This picture is of a park along the way.

There are many block apartment buildings. Here are a few next to the park.

These are streets along our way back home. We sometimes stop at the open air market to buy fresh produce. On this particular day we did not stop so it is not pictured here; however, it is located behind the block apartments on the left. (Above picture)

A taxi line.

This is the closest one to our home, which is about 1/2 mile away.

The final picture is of a small store, which we call the "Blue Bread Store". They have wonderful fresh bread where we purchase a loaf every 2-3 days.

Thanks, for taking a walk with me!

CARTOON

At a Christian fundraiser there was a Cartoonist.

Check out Steve’s caricature, everyone said it captured his essence.

What do you think?

Timisoara at Night

After our first visit to the National Theather in Timisoara we made
a short video of the City Center.

It's Clean but Drafty

While traveling one always appreciates to find a nice clean bathroom. Fortunately for us, Romanian gas station bathrooms are usually decent. A while back, I took a trip with two short term missionaries and my colleague, Dawn, to see some of Transylvania. Along our route, we stopped to get gas a use the bathroom. Two of the gals went ahead of me, and I met them on their way out of the restroom with funny smiles on their faces. I said, “Are the bathrooms not very clean?” They replied, “Oh no, they are very clean,” and then told me to go ahead and use it. The above picture is what I found; a bathroom without the back wall.
The cashier laughed at us all as we had ignored the sign in Romania that stated it was out of order. She told us to use the men’s room and all was well.
