How else can you eat a pizza if not with a pizza knife? The three of us went all the way up to northeast Moldova to a town called Soroca, famous for its fortress. While hanging out with Katie's Peace Corps friend, we had this awesome pizza. Although it tooks us no less than four or five marshrutkas (route taxis that are essentially vans with standing room and seats) to get there, the ride back to Chisinau was a brisk two hours. So from one corner of the country to its center takes about two hours.
Borsch, of course. With sour cream, of course.
The fortress of Soroca is over six hundred years old. Actually everything in Moldova is pretty old. Katie's hometown of only 20,000 people just turned 510 years old.
This is butter. Weird.
We went to see what is billed as the top tourist attraction of Moldova: Orheiul Vechi. It is a cave monastery that monks carved out of the stone hundreds of years ago. This is the altar within it. We explored its (very small) cave dwellings too.
Katie decided to straighten my hair with her flat-iron. This has never happened to me before.
Katie's family's dog just had puppies!
Haha...I need to remember to thank Katie for making this wonderful picture of your hair happen. (I think my favorite part about it is the slight glint of rage in your eyes...)
