World traveler Cousin Sarah Arrives in Romania!!!
World traveler! What a joke! Within 5 minutes of getting off our plane in Amsterdam, I fell over, which embarrassed Bridget. I dropped my fleece, then stepped on it, which caused me to do the splits! I had to go down to avoid breaking both legs...then I gave some lady a peep show in the bathroom because I didn't realize the door didn't lock.
So far, I don't think I've done anything else to mortify Bridget, but I'm working on it.
Things are as Bridget says they are: Romanian drivers are FRIGHTENING, she walks BIG hills everyday, the apartment is frigid (I swear I caught a waft of warmer air from the fridge), and, it is BEAUTIFUL here. The mountains and historical buildings really are breathtaking. And the food is, well, it's actually GOOD. And it's not because I'm starving either! I ate everything in sight on the plane because I feared starvation, but not to worry. And so far, everything is going well in my internal plumbing system. Fingers crossed.
What else...tonight we are celebrating New Year's with some of Bridge's friends. I'll be dry as bone, because as you know, I am on my BEST behavior for her-that means SHORT showers, long walks without stops, and not using a half roll of loo paper in the toilet.
Tomorrow may be kiddie time, I think everything else is probably closed. At some point we will go to their department store STAR and perhaps I can pick up a small messenger bag to hold my camara. Bridge says I look like a tourist and she is horrified. I am still carrying my "purse" on my chest, a small money bag designed to hang around your neck. I can't believe I'm getting used to it...maybe I'll stop carrying a purse when I get home...
That's about it, I love you all and will write again soon.
Love, Cousin Sarah
