| | Well it has been another exciting two days over here. Yesterday we had our hardest day of work yet. With the OAZA open house rapidly approaching we did as much as we could to get the house all ready to go. We started by disassembling another enormous bed and hauling it up to the attic. Then Paige, Bryan and I went outside and began work on digging a ditch. Now digging a ditch is probably not the worst thing in the world, unless someone has dumped enormous concrete blocks where you are trying to dig  Thankfully no one threw out their backs and after a few hours we finally had a decent looking ditch.
After another delicious lunch of PB&J some people finished up painting while Paige, Bryan, and I again braved the 90+ degree weather. We leveled some dirt out in the yard, but eventually Anita decided it was time to call it quits...we didn't want to have to rush to a Romanian hospital for heat stroke 
We finished our last official day with the kids with some more crocheting, as well as a few rousing games of Pick-Up-Sticks and Jenga, which I think all the kids love.
We left the house around dinner time and headed over once again to Mama Maria's. I don't think it is possible to describe here how amazing this woman is. This time I think there were ten of us eating (Jackie and Nicole joined us), and we still couldn't finish all the food. Last night's menu was soup, chicken, potatoes, and salad. Bryan, Jackie and I braved some of the hot peppers, which we all immediately regretted 
After a delicious desert of fresh strawberry something or other (whip, foam, smoothie? I don't know what to call it) we headed back to the hotel.
Today was a really taxing day for all of us. We spent the day sun bathing next to a thermal pool, reading, and stuffing our faces with a sheep/pork sausage type thing. I think we all had a great day and it was a nice break from the past few days of work. Dr. Rose made sure she got pictures of us "slaving for the Lord in Romania".
After a tough day of swimming we came back and started planning our programs for the next few days. Them Paula came over and picked us up and took us downtown again. She surprised us with a trip to Three Bean Coffee Co...a coffee shop owned by an American! Most of us were pretty excited as it was the closet to American food that we have had in a while. Now it's time for bed...we are leaving for Mocrea (the mental hospital) in the morning. We will be updating again soon and we miss you all.
