Hi all I have made it safely to Romania and conquered the two days of travel with a tiny 1.5 hours of sleep. Yay! It is very beautiful here. The temp is similar to Iowa but with half the humidity. I am in the capital right now Bucharest. It doesn't seems as busy as a capital city should be for having like 3 million people, its actually pretty quiet. We are staying at a home of a Romanian couple Sergio and Nutsi. It is really nice. They have grape vines every where and a dog/ wolf thing that barks a lot. There are lots of stray dogs in Romania. Apparently they give them shots and vaccines and re release them on the street. Today we are going to church and then to check out the city! We will also exchange some money to the Romanian Lei. Its about 3 Lei to a dollar. And then Monday we head out for the Camp in Arad. Which is on the other side of Romania in Transylvania :) I think I have already lost about 5 pounds. lol. Lots of walking and no Pancheros. I will try to update again when the camp is over.
