This
morning was breakfast as usual, concluding with our traditional team meeting
that includes the message of the day and the journal from the previous day.
Today is our fifth day together. So far we are a wonderful team!
After
breakfast Laura, Corey, and I left with Dan for the hospital. We look forward
to greeting the children each morning. Alina was especially excited to see
Laura as she loves taking Laura’s necklace and putting it on to wear
herself. Gabi was in good spirits. She
really loved dancing to the songs we played – the hokey-pokey and the chicken
dance. Alina, of course, wanted us to play the songs over and over again. Needless
to say we got quite a workout.
Luca
wasn’t feeling too well today. Corey spent time with Luca, trying to comfort
him. Dan took Luciana to the adult hospital. She has an ear infection. She will
be getting IV antibiotics later today.
At
12:30 we left the hospital to meet our team for lunch. This will be our last
meal with Rich and Margaret as they leave tomorrow for Turkey. They will be
missed next week.
At
School #2 Rich and Margaret repeated their rocket experiment for another group
of students. Lori played a DVD featuring “Dem Bones” and “I Know an Old Lady
Who Swallowed a Fly” with her students. In the second hour her students played
Multiplication Bingo and Food Jingo. She said the kids were lovely.
At
2 p.m. Dorel picked up Lori, Corey, Laura, and me for a trip to Brasov. It was
about a four-and-a-half-hour drive. Dorel is an excellent driver! We enjoyed great conversations with each
other. It made the time go fast. (At breakfast on Monday following our trip, we
also spoke about how much we enjoyed seeing the countryside between Bârlad and
Brasov equally as much as all the special places we visited during the trip.)
Around
6:30 pm we arrived in Brasov and checked in at Hotel City Center. Our rooms were
very nice. We were all pleased.
After
we checked in, we quickly left for the city center. Everyone was hungry. Dorel
took us to an excellent restaurant, Butoiul Sasului. We were each treated with
a complimentary glass of schnapps. Schnapps is hot going down!
