Moldova Here We Are!






We arrived at the Chisinau Airport about 10:30 at night on June 7th.  Many of the Peace Corps volunteers in country were there to greet us.  As we gathered our giant baggage from the revolving belt, they were there with carts to help us move smoothly through customs and have our Peace Corps Passports stamped by the Moldovan officials.  Two full size buses were waiting to take the 66 of us new PEACE CORPS TRAINEES to a local hotel (Hotelul La Villa Verde) for the night.  Many of the in country volunteers were there also to cheer us as we left the busses.  Can you imagine how great it feels to be welcomed after traveling for over 24 hrs straight?   Minunat  (Wonderful)   And we were treated to our very first meal in Moldova,  American Pizza!  Actually we were much more interested in a shower and a bed
