SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS! What

Yes, if the girls managed to get out of bed in the 25, it is because outside, the earth was adorned in her best coat for the day, who is all white!
Yet the 23 we have been watered all day ...

To be honest, my Christmas here was as nice as this morning, I can say now that I am totally conquered that country. If you take the time to appprivoiser, you will not regret it ...

To take things in order, the festival began on 23 with the anniversary of Martha (33 years). While we were trying hopelessly to prepare for surprises, Martha ahead of us by offering us what we planned in secret .... So a little exasperated, 23 midnight, we went to awake him to sing Feliz Cumpleaños!

the 24th, we spent our morning was baking cakes. Tradition dictates that we move from house to house singing Christmas carols, especially children, and then knowledge. In exchange, it offers people of cakes, nuts, fruit or money.
We also had a visit from a group of traditional Romanian!
The girls participated in a small show of Christmas in the Romanian Church. Monette sings beautifully (she is a musician). Me, I took the pictures! For
mese midnight, the church was lovely, there were 4 trees with fairy lights and Christmas decorations and it was very beautiful.
For lunch, it sarmale mandatory (meat cooked cabbage surrounded). We wanted to do but a grandmother caring we have offered because she suspected that we would have difficulties quelaue! Our teacher of Romanian
we also offered the wine she does with her husband.
And for the senile, it is a french teacher with whom we are friends! But we have some difficulties with the cakes a little too creamy for our taste!

Then the 25 is that we've made a few visits. In particular, we pass in the family who lost her daughter 27 years ago few weeks. It was not easy but they received us like queens.
Late after noon, we were looking 5 children of a monastery which remains Deva for the holidays. One has no family and others are not on this side the gates .... We dined with them before bringing them back and it was very nice!

I really loved this tradition of singing from house to house. And then everyone carefully decorated his house. Many people are preocupation of us because we were away from our family. A lady for instance, that we do not know what was passed on 25 in the morning to give us cakes she had done, she wanted to see if everything went well for us.
And here, everyone is family and family is never far from anyway.

It was really a great Christmas, in my best! I
would tell you more but my time is limited ....
I have had all your mail and I will respond even if I am late ....
I think well of you and hope you pasez times as good as me.

Americans in Deva!

Ciao! May this joke?
Yes, I'm progressing at a speed crazy! Well, actually, I'm finally starting to make real sentences and be able to converse a little in return a good effort of concentration!
I also speak much English at home already with Monette I am the official translator, except when there are young people here. In these cases, I am silent because they speak better English with an accent beautiful. In fact, to Romania, they make fun of our accent too frenchie! The show

associations went very well. We were in the castle of Hunedoara, the most beautiful castle in the region. Monette visited his first castle!
We were not more than fifteen associations for this first and it was not crowded but everything went well and we were able to talk with several people very interested.
This is not common here as volunteers from abroad.
There was a competition for Christmas trees. The theme was the beauty of our children, we caught lots of photos children that we know well, here, Haiti, Colombia (previous missions Martha) and France. But we have not had the results of the competition ...
For children, we organized a fishing line with a few surprises to the key (we are fortunate to have lots of people who give us things for kids here).
Otherwise, since the fair was organized by the Americans, they were present in numbers, it was amazing!
Then at the end of the show, we brought a tree in black cab after we cruised the streets with it for ½ hour. Everyone looked at us because it is still a bit early for that and then the trees are very expensive here ...
But now we have 6 as an American working for the Nature Reserve and made us pine gift to give to families, as you say it'll be fun!

Otherwise, the streets of Deva and elsewhere parent gradually miles and lights and trees and it's really beautiful! Paris is well worth it, I promise! On the radio, they stopped placing Kolind (Christmas songs) and we'll try to learn them because the tradition during the Christmas period, we went from house to house singing ... thankfully Monette and Margaret are doing rather well!

But here is also the financial crisis, some are paid more and companies are closing or laying off tower arm, unemployment was very low begins to rise dangerously. And the Prime Minister stepped down yesterday before being invested ....

much for the news of the week.
I kiss you and think well of you.

SAINT NICOLAE! THAT IS BEAUTIFUL











Hello! I hope you are fit to attack this snowy winter it seems .... Yippee!

This last week was highly loaded with no real rest day ... We had planned time off, without a visit to complete a record of thanks and urgent to prepare the show associations (one for which we made the gingerbread house!) Which is the next weekend.
But we received the news of a death of a close friend of the Heart Point for many years. It was a very sick girl. I'd tell her story in greater detail. We
then spend several hours near the family and it was not easy. Despite everything, there were very beautiful moments with the family since my arrival.

And Saturday was the feast day for us because St. Nicholas is the patron of the Heart Point. It is also the feast of the children! They must put their shoes near the fireplace or otherwise of the door and Saint Nicholas filed their candy and fruit. For gifts, they will take their Christmas.
A church, an adult dressed up as St. Nicholas and up the central aisle with a hood. Children sang Kolind (Christmas carols) and reciting poetry with it distributes what he had in his bag. It was very beautiful. The tradition in
Heart is our point of us in disguise, and even in St. Nicholas Bogeyman. We have completed a host of small bags with candy inside and pencils.
Saturday, we were at Bejan, a neighborhood not tarred with shacks near the cemetery. Since there were more, it was mud, I do not expilque in what state we returned. I am always surprised that the gypsies who live in them are still on despite their own conditions.Il no running water and more, when night falls, you can not see anything and to top it all, there are stray dogs that must be wary (Monette was once bitten ...).
Children were very happy of course. As much as we progressions between each home, the horde of children was growing! So it was not always easy to manage, Saint Nicholas has come loose and exhausted (Marguerite), the bogeyman is falling in the mud (Monette), Martha and me and we were the bodyguards and guards of bag!
The next day we were not reassured because we were near the toughest, Grigorescu ... Mintia and the little village.
We had to change in a pizerria. I'm into normal and came away with Mosh Nicolae, imagine the head people! Martha with her black hair was the father fouttard!
I am trying to put photos of it develops.
And finally, thanks to the rain, everything went calmly and quietly. Girls were telling us or the children.
It was really magical to see the head of the children when he saw me, their eyes grew larger. Well, some also plueurer! I had a baby 8 months in the arms and after the first surprise, she seemed puzzled and curious assz my mustache!
Adults also looked quite pleased and somewhat amazed! They invited us to come back home (we entered cahque hut, every room, even those we do not know).
At the end of this weekend, we were worn out but it was worth it!

Today is the anniversary of Monette then we'll make fries, good meat (I think has become vegetarian ....!) here and a cake of course. We will also go to the cafe for a hot chocolate! And then there's the gift of course!

Tomorrow Attila just help us isolate our roof, I'll try not to pass through for once!

Here for the news that I hope you will find form.
Thanks!
