At the beginning of the school year I even entertained fledgling plans to spend a year between high school and college in Romania. After many months of prayer, careful reflection, and motherly advice, I will not be making the trip this fall.
The choice to go to college next fall was the right one for me, but, now, as I wade through tedious college plans, I cannot help but reminisce. Below are some photos so that you can share the memories with me...

A horse-drawn cart ambles down a street in a small town called Laslea.

Hey, farmer!
A large group of female Romani (gypsies) live in this house, known as "The Castle".There is just a tiny taste of what the country feels like. If you'd like to hear more about my trip, let me know. I'd love to sit down for a minute or a week and tell you about it.
The castle seems something of an anachronism with respect to the other photos-- adds to the mystique of the place. You'll go back, perhaps not in the fall, but you'll go back. Doesn't take long for people and a place to grow on you.
