Old Orhei

Last weekend, some of my fellow trainees and I coordinated a trip to see Old Orhei (Orheiul Vechi), a historic site in Moldova. It was a hot, sunny, beautiful day, and we enjoyed spending time together and seeing more of Moldova's beauty.

After a few hours in the hot sun, we enjoyed some shade and a refreshing beverage

cold lemonade!
