I've been in Romania for a week now. It's also my first time in Europe. So, here are some things that I've experienced and learned.

 

  • We debrief was in a city called Brasov. It was beautiful and exactly what I envisioned Europe being like
  • We went to Peles Castle, which was pretty awesome
  • Fresh pastries and coffee make me happy
  • Not having to eat spicy food is fantastic
  • We live at a summer camp for the month
  • So obviously, there are no campers, so we are pretty much the only people except for  out contact and the cook.
  • Manual labor is our ministry. That included chopping and moving fire wood, digging holes and trenches, and planting flowers and trees
  • If it rains, we rest
  • If is snows, we rest
  • We eat bread at every meal
  • We are staying is an introverts dream, rooms shared with only 3 other people and lots of space to find places to hide away, so I am taking full advantage
  • We have a fire place! (but can only make a fire a week)
  • We had a snow ball fight and went sledding
  • Trips are being planed to Hungary, Austria, and maybe even Slovakia! No more missing a country for my 11n11
  • Romanian kind of sounds like people are yelling, and that they are always angry
  • There is one teeny tiny store about 5 minutes away from the camp, but nothing else in the town
  • A slightly bigger town with a coffee shop and slightly bigger store is a taxi ride away
  • I am so happy to be back in the right season, I am definitely a season girl
  • And finally, God is good, all the time

 

Ps…sorry for the lack of photo a day posts, lots of travel, bad internet, and my lightroom subscription running out have made me lazier about it, I will try to make it resume soon!
