Arriving in Bucharest

 We left at 5am from the MTC to catch a shuttle to the Salt Lake Airport. It was quite easy and carefree compared to most of our recent travel. The first flight took us to Atlanta, where we settled in for a little while. Then we flew to Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport. Although my body said it was 11pm, it was 6am. Somehow we missed the evening hours. We landed in Bucharest at 1:30pm and were quickly met by the mission leaders and the Nielsens.


The Fowlers are a young couple and are a perfect fit for this area. Sister Fowler grew up in the Bothell area, so we have many friends in common. It's so nice to have senior couples to spend time with again. The Nielsens are delightful YSA missionaries, who have accepted office duties as well. 

We enjoyed lunch at Casa Doina where we had comida tipica of schnitzel and sarmale. 



Apparently it is an historic monument. It was quite lovely.


We were tired, but excited to see our new place. It is delightful, but temporary. A new apartment is being prepared for us north of town. However, this place is lovely. 





I admit the kitchen is small, but all of our kitchens have been tiny. It's a bit funny to have a door on the kitchen, but that is how kitchens used to be in the early days in the West. Before this open-room concept caught on.


This walk-in closet is amazing.


The tubs/showers here are built up with the plumbing below so the step out on to the floor is quite dangerous. In any case, we'll be here for three weeks and enjoy it immensely.

Returning "Home"

 After a call from Sally asking for our help, we decided to return home a few months early. It has been hard to put together all the project...
