In the spirit of the summer Olympics, we taught Beca some tumbling skills!

Road Trip Part 2

After our night in Sibiu we traveled West toward Timisoara. My brother had come out in June and stayed at the Precepts ministry center, and we decided to go back out there and stay for a couple of days just to relax and get out of Brasov. It was a beautiful drive across the country and we got to see many parts of Romania that I had never seen before.

Along the way, we stopped at a vineyard... It was such a beautiful place and had some delicious wine!Mary, Beca, and I decided to pose with some traditional Romanians...don't we fit right in??

At the center, we spent a lot of time just hanging out and taking walks around. It was a good time to get away and get refreshed to go back to work at the hospital!

There were some tennis courts there and Beca learned how to play! She was quite the talented little player!

One day we took a trip into the bigger town of Lugoj that was nearby. We had a picnic in the park in the center of town. I don't think too many people do this...we got a few strange looks from people and had one guy come and just stare for a while. Oh well! It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed our picnic!

Lugoj had a beautiful canal that ran right through the middle of it.

It was a fantastic trip and a fun getaway for all of us!

Road Trip!

In August, Steffi went to Germany with Roxi and Costel, so Mary, Sarah and I decided to go on a little road trip across Romania with Beca. We started in Sibiu, a town about 2 and a half hours away from Brasov. It's a very cute little town that actually reminded me a lot of Brasov with a huge center that Beca just loved! There were fountains that squirted up out of the ground that she had a blast playing in! She ended up a bit wet, but it was well worth it to see how much fun she had. Mary maybe got a littl wet as well playing in the water...

We walked around and saw some of the other sights in town. Lots of old, historic buildings and churches. It was nice to shop and relax and enjoy just being outside and seeing a town outside of Brasov.

We found a car along the way that seemed just the right size for Beca!

We spent one night in Sibiu before continuing our journey on further to the west in Romania...
