Here is Sherbert in the Frankfurt airport. She and her family got a little bit turned around getting to the right gate, but she still made it in plenty of time. She is happy to have her boarding pass ready to get on the plane. She is a bit tired from the long and noisy flight from SFO, but still looks good!
Sherbert sure was happy to get to her room at the church after we arrived in Sibiu, Romania. Here she is right after we arrived hanging out on her bed. It was so comfortable after being on 3 planes for so many hours getting here. Aaahhhhh....
Saturday Sherbert went off with us to Family Camp on the outskirts of Sibui -- at Porunbacu de Sus. The resort was up in the mountains in a very beautiful area. Sherbert saw gypsies and people on the road in horse drawn carts on the way there and was very excited about that. Here is Sherbert in our room at the camp, just hanging out before things got started.
Family Camp was lots of fun! Sherbert enjoyed "riding" on the donkey in the park area a lot. She also enjoyed watching all the small children who were hanging out on the playground.
Sherbert wanted to make sure that you saw her balancing on this bridge at the resort. It was too far for her to jump over the small stream, so she was happy they put the bridge in for her use.
Back in our room at the church after the retreat, Sherbert wanted to explore a bit. Here she is sitting in the tile heater. The tiles had different pictures that she enjoyed. It is pretty warm here in Sibui, so we haven't actually used the heater, although it looks like it would do a good job warming the place. Sherbert thought it was interesting that many of the old churches have heated kneeler for when it gets very cold in the winter.
Here is Sherbert reading our blogs on Steve's computer. (of course, Karen had to actually read them to her, but she liked the pictures the best.) Seeing the blog gave Sherbert the idea of doing her own blog so Katelyn and the world could hear about her Romanian Adventures.
Here is Sherbert and Radu, our host, sitting in the kitchen in our "apartment". She really likes Radu and was very happy that he agreed to take a picture with her. Tomorrow Radu will be hosting us on a siteseeing trip, and Sherbert is hoping to see Dracula's Castle. (Well, she is just a little scared about Dracula, but brought some garlic along, just in case.)
We went to the "Astra" museum of Traditional Folk Civilization, which had many buildings moved from different parts of Romania. It also had a gift store, where Sherbert helped pick out a couple of items to bring home. She likes shopping.
Today we heard from home that someone had used Karen's ATM card here in Romania and the bank thought it might have been stolen. We are not sure, but we think Sherbert might have snuck out to use it. She is quite a mischevious bear.
Well, it is now 10:00 pm and after Sherbert's bedtime. We hope you enjoyed hearing about her trip. Karen
