pics, continued
trying this one more time.... computers in Moldova are more fickle than computers in the US, if you can imagine that ITS staff! Sorry for the randomness of the pictures, I promise to TRY and be better in the future!
The sunset on my block in Milestii, this is around where I run during the week-- through the fields. It is no wonder I get lost a lot with the distracting scenery!
The outside of my house in Milestii Mici. (As you can see it has a huge garden in front, and is actually quite quaint. The only "issue" is the outside toilet that is through the chicken coup and by a large dog. Oh well, c'est la vie)
-----------------------------------
In the mean time, as in, while I am waiting for the computer to upload my pictures, I have to say that Moldova has some of the most beautiful OCTOBER SKYS of any place that I have ever been. Because of the lack of street lights, house lights, and light in general, the stars and the moon are so bright, and so clear. I love it, of course. I tried to talk to my host brother about constellations the other night and he thought I was crazy and went inside-- at least I tried, right? For now, I am going to fight for the right to be allowed to stand outside in the dark.
On another note, I just wanted you all to know that the first piece of mail I received in Moldova was from Joan, that's right Hamilton folks, JHS found me in Moldova and sent me a summary of convocation. WONDERFUL. I appreciate the mail, Hamilton, really I do-- my friends here thought it was funny that I got "junk" mail in Moldova, however, I know Hamilton just wants me to donate a little bit of my $2 a day salary. We will see. Since then, I have gotten one other piece of mail-- an absentee voting ballot from Bergen Country. The 201, they've got their shit together. Right? :)
I need to get on that, and by get on that I mean learn enough Romanian to use the post office. We will see. Anyway, don't be upset by a lack of mail-- hopefully in a month or so I will be acomplished enough to perform small daily tasks in Romanian, besides, can I please buy some water. Today I also added some links to other PCV blogs (all people in my training class in Moldova) on my website-- you can check them out, I think most people have been having better luck with their pictures than I have.
I miss you all! (Seriously, all of you). Until later or in Romanian, pe curind!
