Livin' In Moldova, Entry 3

More pictures and writing from my experiences and Moldovan culture.

A far away view of the new church under construction in my town.

Entrance to my house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other entrance to my house which leads to my room and also

the 'casa mare', where they have their nice dinner parties.

I think every Moldovan house has a room especially for large table dinner parties.

A bunch of goats.

 

My first friends in my new town. Every time I pass their house on my way home from work and they are outside they invite me in and feed me tons of food. They are the cutest little couple ever. They live in this little house with low ceilings, it seems it was built for their size. They have a huge garden and tons of chickens, pigs, and rabbits. (they make a delicious rabbit dish here in Moldova. I got to eat it my first day with my last host family and I never knew it was soooo good) The woman on the left is an English teacher I work with. I walked home with her my first day

.
