Such hot days this week. The rain seems to have abated in favour of cloudless, sunny days. Today especially was sweltering at a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, and working in the field makes it much worse. But I was kept busy clearing down trench levels so at least my mind was mostly kept off the heat. It was very nice to get back to camp, change out of sweaty clothes and find some shade. Teresa made gogosi (pronounced 'gogosh', kind of a round donut pastry), which was the perfect treat; it's even better when you add maple syrup to it, yum.
Right now, I'm in Zalau with Val, Lauren and Ashley. Val and I need to prepare for the trip to Sighisoara this weekend. We'll probably leave Saturday morning and come back Monday afternoon. We need to find a hostel to stay in for two nights. From reading Val's Lonely Planet Romania guide, it sounds like a beautiful city with lots to see, so I'm looking forward to it. Still a little sad that so much fuss was made over trying to get to Poenari Castle, but I'll make it there someday!
Last night's evening out was really nice. It was great to hang out with Cristina for a time, and we'll probably do it again next week. The night at the bar with the rest of the team was also good. It was very casual, just a few drinks and lots of conversation (and singing along to the music).
That's all for now. May write again in Sighisoara! Ciao.

So nice to read your and Val's comments.
ReplyDeleteRefresh my memory about Poenari Castle, Sighisoara, Christina and Teresa.
Continue writing, working, shopping,(drinking)
and enjoying the sights, each other and the experience.
Tell Val to eat as much as she wants and not to worry about her weight.
Hope you find something memorable.
Love,
Mom
