Greece

After my parents came and hung out in Romania for a while, we took a short trip to Greece. I needed to leave the country for my visa, so Greece seemed like a fun choice! We stayed mainly in Athens, but one day we took a 3 island cruise to see something different. One of the islands we went to allowed no cars, so everyone had a donkey to get things around! I think if I went back to Greece, I would want to stay on an island like this - it was beautiful!

Another day we took a ride along the coast. It was nice to get out of Athens and see the water. It wasn't the prettiest day, but luckily the rain let up enough for us to walk around a little bit.

Of course a big part of Greece is all of the ruins that are everywhere. I didn't really know what much of the stuff was we were looking at, but it was impressive how old it was! My mom was an expert with the guide book and she would always tell us what we were seeing and how long ago it was built. It was a good trip overall and just fun to get to spend more time with my parents.

Mom and Dad Come to Romania!

My parents were able to come and visit me in Romania! It was a great trip and I really enjoyed showing them what my life is like here. They got to come with me to the hospital one morning and see all the little babies that were in. They even got to experience the part of the day where we change all the diapers! Not sure that was their favorite part, but it was nice to have the extra hands. One afternoon we went on a walk with some friends of mine here. Roxi (the little girl holding my mom's hand) really liked her a lot and they got very bonded!
