My First Visit to a Romanian Home

So, this morning I was sent on a mission to deliver blankets for someone to sew together for us. I had to come to the office and bag them up and then call a taxi and show him the address I was going to on my cell phone, upon arrival I was told to call a staff member to translate for us over the phone as this person did not speak any English and I know no Romanian (well I know enough to call a taxi). So I got to the office and had someone call the taxi for me, then I showed him the address and we were going the right direction and we were on this one road and there was no number 2, so I called a staff person and he called the taxi headquarters. We learned that we were not in the right place so we kept going, we then turned onto the street they lived on! We pulled up to number 2 and a lovely women and her daughter came out to greet me. I called the staff person to translate but we learned that the daughter knew enough to translate for us. We took the blankets inside and looked at them to see if she would be able to do it. She said yes and then asked if I could stay for coffee, this is a show of hospitality and if you have time you say yes so I stayed. Now for those of you that know me, I don't like coffee. I actually asked for water and they said they did not have any so I said coffee would be great. I was just hopeing at this point that I could finish it and not be ill. So the coffee came out and I put LOTS of sugar and cream in it and it actually wasn't that bad and I was able to finish it! I was so excited. I talked with the daughter and mother for a while and then said I had to go. It was a great visit and she said she will be able to get the blankets done by Monday afternoon. YAY!! It was a great visit! Even more though I want to learn Romanian so I can communicate with people here. At least I know enough to call a taxi and get to where I need to go. So thats my story for today. I havn't taken many pictures recently because I've just gotten used to life here and so it feels out of place to take pictures but I'll try and get some. I start at the baby hospital on Monday!! On Saturday I may be able to go shopping for baby things to take with us to the baby hospital! I love it here in Romania! Thats all I have to share today. Thanks!
