Alright so...its been a long time coming...sorry about not updating for awhile. Let's start back at Retezat. So, yes, I climbed a mountain. It was wonderful but, the whole experience was beautiful and completely amazing. We spent 4 days hiking up to Lake Bucara and then on the 5th day we hiked to the peak from Lake Bucara and hiked back down to the city on days 6 and 7. It was a hard hike but, physically it was difficult. Our longest and, I think, most difficult day was the first...6 hours uphill and we weren't adjusted to it at all yet. So...there are some pictures from that trip -- including a pic. of me at the top of the mountain!!! 8,000 and some feet !
SO, other than that - life is good, went through a period of culture shock just before retezat when all I wanted to do was go home but, got over that. I love romania - through all of its imperfections...I have to move out of my homestay in 2 weeks and, though I will still see my family a lot...I will miss living with them a lot. leaving in december is going to be really hard.
classes are fantastic - I love love love what we are discussing and learning and it is even better that we are experiencing what we are learning while we are hear.
speaking of - I must go hang out with some romanian teenagers now.
peace!
