I have to go work with my classmates on a school project this afternoon, so I am hoping the roads aren't muddy. We are planning to meet at one of their host family's homes, so that means I need to walk up the hill out of my neighborhood and down the hill into town (about a half-hour walk) and then 10 minutes up another hill to get to our classmate's host family's home. That's about an hour of walking, so you can see why it would be more challenging in the rain/mud.
Here's hoping the rain stays stopped for the rest of the day. Although, we hear that it's supposed to rain tomorrow afternoon, too, which means walking home uphill for 40 min in the rain. I wonder if my raincoat will do me any good here? I didn't bring an umbrella!! Seattleite problems...
Update: It was my host mom's birthday party today! I didn't know until I went downstairs that there was a birthday lunch for her! Relatives came over to celebrate. I got to meet her sister and
daughter-in-law. And then her sister's nephew and his fiancé came over to
announce their engagement!
It stopped raining, so I was able to go to
my classmate's house to work on a project. We are mapping the town and have to
present to the class on Tuesday.
While I was walking in her neighborhood, I saw the most amazing flowers and lots of cherries! Her family also has a rooster and chickens.

On the way home I peeked into the market
just to investigate. Lots of lovely things, like pelmeni in the freezer case and pickled watermelon in the produce section! (And of course, lots of dill!)
When I got home, mamă mea gazdă (my host mom) was
watering flowers in the yard and she took me around the backyard and told me
the names of the different fruits: caisă (apricot), prună (plum), struguri (grapes), căpșună (strawberry), and of
course cireaşă (sweet cherries) si vişină (sour cherries)!
