... center (Lipscani area) you have a lot to see.

Most buildings have history written all over both in and out side.

Architecturally speaking, they do resemble to the style in Paris, reason why Bucharest ...

... 74. hmmmm. Not that I am complaining about being warm but I do hope to be able to use my long underwear sometime before I get to Qatar and on to the South Pacific. Oh right, be careful what you wish for, yes? It will probably snow on me now somewhere in Uzbekistan or Unkraine.

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me. Yes its my birthday today. Its not really shaping up to be one of the best yet. I have to say im a little freaked out about it all at the moment. I arrived in Bucharest yesterday after about 40 hours of travelling. I can't really complain about the travel though, it was all biz class and i slept pretty much all the way. I got in about 4pm and Chris, an english guy from the volunteer agency was there to pick me up. Another girl had arrived ...

... to come to the USA and most of them could speak english very good. I feel much more at easy around younger kids now and feel more comfortable at teaching bible lessons to youth. There is nothing like just getting thrown into it. The highlights of the camp was the connection I made with a few teens who called me out to do a bible study with them during the free time periods of the camp. The lowlights was the camp ...

Hi All, We traveled nonstop from Fresno to Uderverhay, Romania. We left Fresno Saturday morning drove to San Francisco and then flew to Frankford, Germany nonstop. We had a 4 hours layover in Frankford, Germany. Just enough time to enjoy at least a couple overpriced German beers at the airport. That would be last time for awhile we would be able to have any alcholic drinks. Not that they do not have them in ...

... of Defense. When the Communist Regime collapsed in the revolution of 1989, the building sat empty for quite a while before the Marriott Hotel chain decided to purchase it. Only a little more sleep would make me happier than I am now (and I intend to get plenty of that in just a few minutes). I am eight hours ahead of Chicago time, and really feeling my lack of sleep!
