We went into Cahul today on the local bus. What an adventure
to live like the locals do. It was very crowded and the girl next to me was
accompanied by a box of rabbits!
I love the spontaneity of life here. At 9.30 this evening we
were invited to attend a birthday party. So we dropped everything, got in the
car with the family we live with and set off into the night. What an evening of
wonderful, genuine Moldovan hospitality as were welcomed into another home. The
pet guinea pigs belonging to the two girls were the first pets I’ve come across
in Moldova. Most of the household have dogs but they are strictly kept outside,
chained in kennels and are guard dogs rather than available for cuddles!
