Headed for Bucharest

It is 7 PM here on Friday night and it is 10:30 Friday morning there. We will be heading to Bucharest by train at midnight. We will not get there until Saturday morning early. I am not sure what we are supposed to see while we are there. Adela has arranged for someone to take us around the town and see the capital and things. I think we are all just so exhausted that we don't know if we are coming or going, even Adela. They have worked so hard to make our visit and enjoyable and educational one. I have met so many nice people. We ate lunch with Adela's family and her husband's family today. The grandmother is 89 years old. She had been working in the garden at 6:30 this morning. She was a very interesting women. She shown much love for us and was very appreciative for all the things she thinks we have done for her family. They grilled us a large meal and made special food for us. It was wonderful. I feel as if I am leaving part of my heart here with these people. I can't imagine how they survive on so little. It makes me realize how very very lucky I was to have been born in America with all my privileges and rights. We went by gypyse houses today. You can not even imagine the types of houses they live in, if they live in a house. Many of them just live out on the streets and beg from people or steal and lie. It is unimaginable. The principal at the school gave us special presents for Mr. Hibdon. They also gave us a flag of the country. It was amazing. At the school today the children sang songs to us. They had large outside activities for them to particapate in throughout the school yard. I have many examples for all to see. Some of these were things that we had not thought about doing ourselves with our students. So we have learned many new educational activities that we can take back to our classrooms. I am looking forward to coming home and giving everyone a big hug. I am sending kisses and hugs to everyone.
