Here are our hosts, Constantin (Constantine) and Maria, in the kitchen/dining room. This is their 6th time hosting a Peace Corps volunteer and are very laid back. It's nice how they accomodate our schedules and needs. The kitchen is efficient with less to clean. The table we move out when it's time to eat, and put it back against the wall when we're done. Good use of space, I think.
Costel and Maria speak a few words of English as they've been to the States a few times. But we're definitely using the Romanian we're learning in school to communicate with them. It's amazing how much more we understand as we progress through our classes. After just 5 days we've learned greetings, asking for directions, asking occupation, describing the house, asking and telling the time, and all kinds of other things. It's AMAZING!

They look pretty normal. Where are the vampires? I thought there were vampires in Romania.
who is that ghostly figure in the top left corner?
How do you say "Hello, how are you?" in Romanian?
Wow, Emily! It sounds like you are getting along pretty well. I bet it helps learning a language immersion style. This blog is great! I can't wait to see what fun things you two get to do there.
