Where is Moldova, anyway?

So I've been bad at blogging lately, but I have lots of stuff to update you all on! But not today...it's too hot! Right now, at 11am, I look out my window at the thermometer and it is 43 degrees celcius, in the SHADE! Oye! It's too hot to do anything right now... except inform you of an interesting tidbit I learned yesterday. The Olympic Torch on it's way to Moscow in 1980 passed down the main street of my town! Pretty cool, huh? We have this marker on the main street by our "track" that says Olimpiad and 80. And the pieces finially come together. I can't find a list of the places it went, and since Moldova has since became independent, can't verify this... but on the only map I could find http://olympic-museum.de/torches/torch1980.htm it looks to be pretty true.

I hope the heat isn't as bad across the pond. :)
