Wednesday 1 January 2003

Well, I'm home again. My month in Timisoara, Romania has come to an end. It seems rather short, really.

My thanks to God for an incredibly quick return journey, taking a whole day less than I had scheduled. Also for preventing me from doing anything in Romania more serious than bruising my thigh and killing a van engine.

Thanks to Andrew in England. He almost seems my guardian angel in that country.

Thanks to the Smith family in Timisoara. I can't say I'm going to miss the interesting Romanian architecture of their rented house, which features rooms off rooms rather than rooms off halls. For example there were seven doors between my bedroom and the dining room. None of them shut easily. (We treasure the small things, yet take them for granted so easily.) [But] I really will miss those guys.

Thanks to Casa de Fete (the girls' house), for the ballooning, the massages, the "seal fat" and much more.

Thanks to Steve and Deb for putting up with so much.

Thanks to all those other Romanians (and foreigners), old and young who I worked or played with while there. Someone please let the kids know I had a great time and say sorry to Bobi that I never did spin him around by his arms.

Of course, the advantage of being away just one month is it means less Mac withdrawal.
