Romania National Conference

In October we took a train to Bucharest for the National Conference. The trip there was filled with breathtaking fall scenery. We arrived a day early to take the opportunity to shop for some much needed winter clothing items that had been too heavy to fit in our luggage when we moved. The metro proved to be a time saving means of travel compared to the traffic clogged roadways. We were all pleased with being able to understand a few more words in Romanian and glad that we had previously gotten acquainted with the metro in DC. We were also pleased to see improved security. The conference was a great opportunity to visit with friends we had made at camp and to meet other christians from around Romania. We had some great lessons by some very talented Romanian bretheren, some awesome meals, and some wonderful fellowship. We even managed to squeeze in a few minutes(literally) of site seeing. On the trip home we learned to be careful of vendors on the train, when I inadvertantly bought an Oct1984 edition of National Geographic. Oh well, live and learn! At least it was in English and I had something to read since it was too dark for scenery. Next time I will plan ahead.
