Thursday

After breakfast we headed to Paclisa. Today I helped Skye with the mural after I did the side white wash over again. We jammed to music and it was fun. I also made whitewash before this. When we went to go get it, one of the residents came up behind Shelby and hugged her from behind, kissed her shoulder, and then smacked her butt! It was crazy! After lunch we finished the mural, and then it was back to dinner! Basically, we had bread and butter, cabbage, and these coconut bars like were like mini german chocolate cakes. Now I'm here talking with everyone and the professors. Then bed later!

Wednesday

After breakfast was left for Paclisa. Today Florin and I whitewashed the entire chicken coop. And even the outside! However, my clothes got white spotted and my finger that had a small cut on it, the skin was getting eaten away and turned green from the whitewash soaking through! After lunch Silvia and I washed down the chicken area but the drain area was flooding back because it ran into an existing ditch. It was complicated. Then I helped with the fence a little after it stopped raining. Then we left and had dinner. Somale and donuts!! Last I went to town to the market and got yelled at but a security gaurs for trying to take a picture of their honey display. Lol now I'm using wifi, but Facebook on my friends laptop still isn't letting me batch upload. May have to wait till I get home. :( then maybe some writing and off to bed!

Tuesday

Today, got up and ate breakfast. Headed out to Paclisa. Started out learning how to stretch barb wire for the fence. Then went over and started scraping chicken poop off the walls with Silvia and then Florin.  We did both sides and it was pretty gross. The chickens kept trying to get in the room too! And when we were trying get the coups away from the wall, there was a HUGE spider! Then we had lunch and a great desert that was like a custard pastry. Henbwnt back to work. Then I finished and went back to the fence, we came back, and ate dinner. We had fried soy, potatoes, pickles, and a candied fruit bread. Now I'm at the cafe using the wifi and then off to bed!

Monday

I got up for breakfast and had a terrible cramp and backache. Went downstairs and ate. Basically jam on toast, alittle eggs, cucumbers, and cheese. Then we got on the busses to paclisa. It's very old looking. In fact, There's an old building that they went into last year and it has old documents and stuff. But anyway, I got put in a group with silvia, Florin, Sohaila, Kristen, and Skye. We are doing the chicken area and whitewashing it and re barb wiring the fence. Other projects are sloping pig stalls, fixing roof, and demolish a shed. Lunch was good and i fed the cats peoples leftover shnitsel. It was interesting seeing how the patients there reacted to my friend Alex who is African American. One of the more rough girls was giving her the look over, and one asked if she could sing cuz she looked like Tina Turner. It was pretty funny. So then to fill time while they got tools, we moved rocks, branches, and windows. Then we came back and had dinner. It was spaghetti with a mushroom sauce, and then cherry crepes. Now I'm here trying to upload pics. So then later I'll go to bed!

Sunday

Got up and had my yoghurt for breakfast then packed up and got on the bus. We stopped for lunch and had fried cheese and french fries, rice, salad, and ice cream. Still not feeling hot. We got to Bethany House and it really does feel like an elderly home. The rooms have beds and a bathroom. The fed us soup, salad, mashed potatoes, fried soy(no flavor,cold and not very good), and cherry coffee cake. I'm now in town since we don't have wifi, but there is a random deer farm thing across the street... then I plan on going back and getting to bed!

Saturday

Saturday
This morning i woke up and had toast and one of my protein strips. Then we went the history museum which leads up to the bell tower. It cost $10 to take pictures so i just enjoyed it. It was interesting to see all the old stuff. The items were old things from the area and were all very cool. My favorite thing was the mini hat display of hatters used to advertise. It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. Then we got to the top and there was the old figurines that moved on the hour. The view was pretty and it was also really interesting cuz they had signs on the balcony of how far away and the direction most major cities are from there. Then we looked at the weapons collection and the torture chamber.  They were creepy but cool too. Then i had some vegetable soup at a restaurant and then headed back cuz i have not been feeling well at all. So then i got back and ended up throwing up. So after some relaxing and Facetime with mom and dad, i went back out to get more souvenirs and then got yoghurt to drink for dinner. Then i caught up on these and then Facetime with mom and dad again and then went to bed.

Friday

Friday
We got up in the morning for breakfast, said goodbye to our host families, and then went on the six hour Sigishoara bus ride. 3/4 through, we stopped for a lunch stop. I had margarita pizza and a fruit cup. The fruit cup was like canned tropical fruit with whipped cream and wierd clear gelatin. Then we checked unto our hostel and i got stuck with the crazy boys so Jamie let me share a bed with her. Then we had to walk into the fortress of the city. We walked around and went to a bunch of shops and stuff. Then we walked up the 175 some steps up to the church on the hill. There was going to be a concert there that night so they were charging admission to get into the church so we didn't go in. We also visited the cemetery on the hill which was interesting cuz their tombs are raised above ground like Louisiana too. We got to have dinner in Vlad Dracula's  house. It was neat and very gothic themed. Jamie and i split  dessert called the Dracula cuz it's crepes with all red fruit. Then we saw Dr.Russell and one of the bus drivers in the sqaure and i tried the wine he bought for us. Then we left and headed back to the hostel for sleep.
