Inchis

So Dara and I decided to join a couple of girls to go back to Zalau to do some shopping. Unfortunately EVERYTHING is closed exept the internet cafe and the grocery store, so thats a bummer. I was just going to buy new shirts,instead of washing mine..but I guess I will have to wash a few things this afternoon. Yesterday was the Salaj County tour. The girls and I from last summer had already done this tour...so we decided to bum along, but ditch it on occasion to go hang out. So basically we were able to hit the internet yesterday(obviously) and instead of going to the botanical gardens in Jibou, we went for ice-cream, which was amazing and really cheap. We also picknicked outside of this US journalists country house. We had bread, salami, cheese, fresh tomatoes, apricots, juice, coffee. A nice light meal for once haha. Turns out this journalist has lived all over the states,has written, edited, you name it, he did it basically. He even was an actor in California at one point, one of his big roles was a part in the Blues Brothers movie. Anyways he ended up marrying a Romanian lady and splits his time between Zalau and the countryside. You meet cool people here.

The 2008 girls and I went back to the amphitheater before supper too. It really was a great hour, the view is amazing and we have all been having trouble adapting to the new group and dealing with certain new personnalities. It can be like Survivor sometimes, because you're always with each other...exept that the losers don't get voted out unfornately. All this to say , is that sitting on the ruins of the theater, staring into the valleys and the hills, reminded us why we came back to Romania this year. We just kind of chilled and theorized about the Romans impact on the geography of the area(nerdy, true...but compared to the others, this is nothing). On our way up, we ran into some Buffalo, like literally a few feet away from us and a ton of goats. We are pretty much as far away from North American civilization as we can get.

All seriousness aside. Last night I did shots of chocolate tuica. Yes, they combined chocolate with tuica...and its kind of disgusting..but kind of better..I dunno...anyways the evening broke out into a dance party in the main building. Everybody was dancing...even Eric who shaked his booty on a picknick table.

I forgot to add that everybody else in the group thought it would be fun to hike up Magura hill...which is like an almost like 90 degree walk...I like nature and all...but screw hiking on a Sunday morning.


Oh and do check out the link that was posted by Dara...you can see me in one of the pictures, I am wearing a shirt with a skull on it.

La revedere!
