Take a hike

It's been a very good week. Yesterday, I didn't have classes because of Labor Day. It's interesting to hear how the celebrations have changed since the fall of communism... no more mandatory celebrations over the joys of working. Instead, Simona and I had a movie marathon at the Europa shopping center and then watched some folk dancers perform. I could have stood there for hours.



The whole town has been taking advantage of the gorgeous weather. The restaurants on the square have packed the place with outdoor seating, and ice-cream eaters run rampant. The fountain is blasting, and I'm overjoyed. Today, Simona and I took another hike near her neighborhood. Simona likes to hike like I do, relaxed and with a supply of chocolate.

Another story: When we were hiking, we saw a woman RUNNING up the mountain. Simona turned to me and said, "Isn't it Sarah?" :)

lol! I can vouch for her alibi, it wasn't Sarah. As you were talking with the chirping birds, wild flowers and hills behind you, I kept expecting to see a crew of similarly clad kids skipping by following Julie Andrews. Doh a dear...
