Shelbi and I get to visit each other on the weekends. Since we both have Romanian language classes Saturday mornings until 12:30 p.m., that means we get half of Saturday and most of Sunday together. Lately, Shelbi has been staying Sunday night, too, and leaving early Monday morning for her classes in Bacioi.
A few weeks ago I met Shelbi in Chişinau on a Saturday and we came together to Truşeni. As soon as we got here, my host mom and her friend let us know about a picnic they'd planned. We were glad to go. Here are some pictures of that event.
We went to the garden home/retirement home of Doamna Claudia and Domnul Victor.

| Domnul Victor raises the well bucket for the proclaimed best water around. |

| This was our dining spot. |

| The victims! |
 |
| Domnul Victor shows John how to sharpen and use a scythe. |
 |
| Only slightly better than Gollum's approach :) The fish were tasty! |
 |
| Don't eat me! |
