Top 10 things you need to know about Romania

10. If you are planning to visit make sure that you bring your own index cards.
9. It is required to eat sausage, bell peppers, cheese and tomatoes at least once a day.
8. Stoves and water heaters don't light themselves.
7. Avoid talking about rivers at all costs--especially little ones.
6. If your squeamish about roller costers, keep your eyes closed when in any cars.
5. At least half the guys will be named Georghe and half the women will be named Maria.
4. Make sure you know the Romanian word for thank you, "Multsumesk", as Romanians overflow with hospitality.
3. Romania time = under 4 hours: +30 minutes, over 4 hours: +2-5 hours.
2. The Romanian word for ice is: "Gheati" (gee-aht'-ts [with a tiny little "ih" at the end]).
1. Make sure that you budget for daily gelato!

(Don't worry about the gelato, you will have a blast working it off in a million different ways.)

I like your top ten list!
I'm praying for you guys. I think I'm ready to be done with the being alone business. It's weird to be in an apartment that feels so empty everyday.
LOVE YOU!

Lizzy-
Missing you. Do you know when the plane lands? Kim didn't respond to that email.
Mmmmm tomatoes. Hi I'm Larry and this is my friend Bob, he's a tomato! We know someone who would be starving... but it sounds yummy to me!
So, how about them duckies???

Hume peeps leave on Sunday. (and then I can nap!)

Hugs!
