stone soup.

I got my first taste of the Day Center today. Pretty tough to describe, except to say that I didn't bring my camera for fear it might be stolen and when the state came through to inspect they said someone painted the inside to look like a funny house. Lime green and neon lavender stucco walls.

Carolyn and I spent the day making what I like to call "stone soup"...

the Bieb just came on Romanian television - please excuse the momentary lapse in my train of thought.

Eenieway, Carolyn and I looked like two babushkas wandering around the tiny kitchen today adding anything we could find in the cupboard to this giant vat of boiling water that had been placed on the stove for us. When we first got inside we were immediately pointed towards the kitchen and told that we would cook, so cook we did.. we even added some seasoning to what would otherwise have been a very bland lunch. There were no complaints about our soup or fried zucchini made of giant fresh zucchini from the gardenso I think it was a pretty successful day..

even though Carolyn caught one of the homeless people having a little too much fun with himself in one of the rooms outside the office.

I'm also happy to report that everyone seems to be back in good health although not necessarily in good spirits. It was one of those little blessings today when I finally saw the bathroom today that I miraculously didn't once have to use the potty while we were there. Hooray!

Tomorrow it's off to Ianova to do some hard work helping get the house in order for people to move in to. I'm really looking forward to getting out of the city.
