notes from moldova

All is well, though several of us have a cold - yes, me too. Our hosts are incredibly hospitable and I have enjoyed every moment of our busy schedule. Today we went to the market (much like a temporary flea market for us - only permanent for them), the largest orthodox cathedral in Chisinau, and to the elderly feeding program in the afternoon. The old ladies now know us by name and have practiced to say "I love you" in English. They are so sweet. I have many stories to share on my return.
