I definitely have huge respect for how much the Romanian people walk to get where they need to be!
Today, we got a taste of their life where we got to walk walk walk all day long! Instead of having the Buckner van pick us up from Hotel Iris to go to the CDC this morning (as usual), we volunteered to walk so we could have a chance to see more of the city and have a new experience. The 30 minute walk was beautiful and M’Kayla and I recognized several of the houses and neighborhoods where the kids from the CDC live. After doing our morning program at the CDC with the 4-5 year olds, we hopped onto our bus to TM to bring the Buckner group home kids to the TM Zoo! After getting all the kids an ice cream treat in the city, we did a 45 minute hike up to the zoo (soon after starting our walk we realized that the zoo sat on top of two large hills haha). Needless to say, we had some GREAT exercise and it was so neat to experience a Romanian zoo! The kids loved getting to see the panther, jaguar, and baby wolves—they were all new additions. Everyone had a great time and a large appetite once we were finished hiking back down the hills and on the way home.
Pray for us as we wrap up this week and prepare to bring these kids and the kids from Zau orphanage to camp next week with the first mission trip team!
