Romania - May10

Cherries were in bloom when we were in Romania in May 2010. We ate so many. Alex couldn't get enough!

Everytime we go to Romania, there is a festival. This one was really fun. People were selling lots of traditional items and yummy Hungarian sweet rolls.

This is an Orthodox Church just outside of Slatina.

We are having dinner with Daniel's cousin Nicoleta and her family. Romanian's are always great hosts when invited to their houses. We really enjoyed Nicoleta's grandma, who is full of life and energy!

The countyside houses are very cool inside and peaceful. They present the most perfect napping conditions. Alex is dreaming away.

Alex and I are exploring the variety of vegetables and fruits in the garden.

Daniel is enjoying the garden with Alex.

Alex loves the pui or baby chickens.

Geese and more geese..all over the place. I really dislike geese. They are aggressive.

This little kitty was like an angel always staying with Daniel's grandma. Everytime we have visited Daniel's grandma (Geta's mom), there has been a little kitty with her. The little kitty did a great job of keeping the chickens out of the house.

Thanks Daniel for posting this one...my face is a cherry tree.

Slatina countryside.

This one is better.

This is the best!

This is one of Alex's great aunts. She is showing us around.

Daniel's grandma. She really enjoyed Alex.

This is Geta's classroom. The kids are adorable. We asked each of them what their favorite part of the day is. They all really like religion class and p.e.

The flower festival filled the Slatina with color while we were there.

This swing was so much fun. Daniel's cousin and God mother in Romania, Nicoleta, took us to a really fun park. This park had stuff for adults too!

Nicoleta and Bogdon were wonderful hosts while we were in Bucharest.
