Country Country Country

So I don't know how it happened but one of my blog posts got lost throughout the week.

So you lucky people get another post this week!

Hot dog.

On Sunday Britta and I came out ready for church and we discovered 

we were twinsies and matched our outfits.

That was worthy of a picture.

Sorry we look pinky orange.

We just glow I guess.

 

That was the nice picture of us (dancing?) together.

 Bring on the gross no-shower weekend adventure pictures then!

So after my roommates and I recovered from a sick, infected,

and pain filled week we decided to visit the countryside!

How did we plan on getting there?

We hopped on a bus and waited until it couldn't go any farther. 

That's how. :)

Don't Britta's bangs look excited to go?

We all were pretty excited and her bangs were no exception.

:)

 

 Jenna and Jodie were excited too!

Who wants to sleep in on a Saturday when you can go on a Romanian adventure?

(Usually us.)

So the country was just plain gorgeous!

Rolling hills, quaint little homes, wells, horses, chickens, cows, fields, gardens, and wild flowers.

Feast your eyes upon Romanian nature at its finest.

 

I suppose this is what I expected Romania to be like before I came here.

We live in the heart of Iasi so we have to travel like 20 minutes before we see houses and not just apartments, shops, and the mall.

 

Are they plowing their field with a horse?

Yup.

Awesome! 

 Here are our shoes.

Left to Right: Jenna, Britta, ME, Jodie

This is us in front of a cute little well on the street. 

They have wells all over the place.

It was like we were in a fairy tale!

Let's just hope that a big bad wolf doesn't pop up anywhere...

 

Nope.

No wolves.

But there were turkeys!

And goats!

 

Were there lots of cars you ask?

(Because that's an obvious question.)

But the answer is no! 

What were there then?

WAGONS!!!!!!!

I loved seeing the countryside and the humble little homes and laid back lifestyle.

BUT

We live in the city.

The closet thing we have to "roughing" it country style is that we have to

fill up water jugs at the church and carry them home.

Here's Jodie and Britta showing how silly we are when we do have to carry water.

 

I can't complain about living in the city though.

The "river" we live next to is always a fun site to behold.

Gypsies (and others) bathing, fishing, and napping by the river

always make for an enjoyable view as we walk.

Well...I have 1 more picture but it doesn't really relate to anything...

We pass this sign all the time and so naturally I have to kiss it.

Naturally. 

:)

 

Well that was that for my lost post.

Sorry it was a bit scattered and not entirely related.

Meh, you're probably only looking at the pictures anyway.
