Yesterday was pretty full. We ate a good breakfast made by Lavinia and we went to a market in the middle of the city. After a mid-day nap, we went to a city park called Tineretului (literally "The Youth Park") and met with some fellow Christians and a few people who will be our students when the English Institute starts next week. We played soccer and Ultimate Frisbee at the park. We also went on walks through the woods and enjoyed talking and getting to know each other better. It was especially good for Dana to get some time interacting with Romanians. Our time at the park ended in a funny way as the rain started to pour and the wind blew. Nobody was expecting it so most of the people hid under trees and blankets. The Alaskans pretty much stood there and endured it. After it was certain that it wasn't going to stop, we headed for the car, soaked but happy.

P.S. This morning Dana adventured out in on her own to find and buy breakfast. She was able to do this without any local-language skills. We were all proud of her.
