Goodbye My New Friends

This morning Jane, Ali, Paula, Chris, and I had one last breakfast together before they begin their journeys toward home. The last week has been busy but fun! They left around 9am to start toward Bucharest. Dan went with them to pick up the new team.

I moved into yet another room.. my 3rd so far this trip (Room 6 with Mariah, Room 11 by myself, and now Room 4 with a new team member, Stephanie I think). I have everything put away and flowers from Jane are displayed nicely in front of the TV! LOL

I haven't made it over to the clinic yet but am planning to go right after lunch. I'm going to take my book and just hang out if the kids are still sleeping. Today is supposed to be one of the hottest yet, so I don't want to keep walking back and forth. I'll probably have an early dinner. One of our waiters, Bogdan #2, is getting married tonight and I want to be out of the way before the festivities begin! I'm going to try to sneak pictures from my balcony though! Most of the team is in shock that anyone would marry Bogdan #2 so I have to present them with proof! LOL

Preparations began last week with Bogdan #2 mowing the yard on Friday. Then this past Thursday they started decorating the restaurant and weeding the flowerbeds. This should be a fun night for the new team!! LOL

I happened to stumble on your blog and have been fascinated ever since. My name is Maria and I will be returning (for the second time) to Tutova on the 15th of August. I have so enjoyed all of your beautiful photos and commentary. It makes me feel like I am already there! It has also helped immensely in preparing my own two children (ages 8 and 6) for my up-coming trip. I have enjoyed showing them where Mom will be and with who. I plan on bringing donations - mainly medications and what not - but wanted to know what other things the clinic needs. I figured you are in the trenches and know best. Keep up the fantastic work and keep on snapping those pictures!
