Hi there.  Let's take a walk on this beautiful Spring day.  It's always beautiful down here by the river.  Today we're going to cross this foot bridge and see what things are like from the other side.  There's the village of Jeloboc.  How strange to be looking at it from over here.  We're going to take this well worn trail up to the ridge.  I know we can do it.  Here's the view north of the Raut River.  Do a 180, and there's the valley looking south.  As we look west across the rive we can see the village laid out before us.  See the blue house in the closeup center left?  Well the house right above it on the hill is where I live.  And I've been looking at this ridge for the last 575 days!  Next we follow the river around the bend and look west.  See the yellow building in the center of the next picture?   Thats the Centrul Comunitar Multifunctional Universul where I volunteer 5 days a week.  I present to you the village of Piatra.  The village church is the blue roof on the left bottom corner, and center with columnated front is the Casa Cultura.  To the right with obvious red tiled roofs is the Primavera (mayor's office) and the Gradinita (kindergarten).  The river bends again as it leads to Orhei.  Time to walk back down and take the bridge.  Looks like we're not the only one's out for a Spring walk.  Baaa!

  1. What wonderful shades of green! And that footbridge! Is that the very same foundation we were looking at in October, when there was just a cable but no bridge? Progress! I love the view from high up on the Eastern cliff.
