20 Day’s Later

Ok so yeah I am in the Halloween spirit right now. I am very sad that I missed all the Halloween movies and the all around feeling of Halloween. But in Romania they do not celobrate Halloween. It doesnt even feel like October to me at all! Not just because the lack of spooky expierences and pumpkins and copious amounts of candy but it is still warm here (warm for me atleast). I would say that it is about 65-70 degress here. I simply can’t take it! The other day my host mother was waiting for me to come out of the house. I was wearing a new dress and my uggs. As I walked out of the gate she Eeked in terror as I was wearing a dress with no tights. When I got into the car she asked me if I was cold and I said no. She then pointed out that she was wearing her winter coat. I just looked at my eskimo looking host mother as she said I would be looked at strangely and pointed at in school for my lack of clothes when it’s winter. But let me tell you about my mountin adeventure! Last weekend my host father took me to a mountin resort area, sorta like Killington called Rânca prounounced Riinka. It was the last motor cross race of the season before the snow came. It wasn’t really a race at all. It was just a bunch of old men riding the trails with their ego’s inflated. And the night that we got their, there was a party! Let me tell you Romanian’s know how to party! The party was in a lodge about a 20 minute walk away from our hotel! Oh and the other american girls and their fathers came too! But this party invloved lot’s and lot’s of wine and other drinks which we couldnt drink :P. But the hot chocolate was good! Iubesc Romanâ chicolata cald! Foarte foarte foarte fantastic! Mhmm! Peroid and a paragraph Iubesc Romană! But after the first party we all waddled back to our hotel and slept. Then when we woke up we walked around the mountin village and explored! It reminded me so much of Vermont! I have now discovered I love mountins! But after our exploration we bought some lunch. I bought some fries, cartofii prajitii. And I put salt and vingegar on them! That was good. Then we sent the men off for their 6 hour mountin extravagnaza! So we played cards and drank more hot chocolate. And on occasion we played with the mountin dogs. Este foarte dolce! Then some of the manly men were finally geting back and we ate a tradiontal mountin meal. Which consisted of either lamb, beef both in a delicious sauce, Mamaliga (nu imi sa place mamaliga). It was a good meal over all. Ahh but the party after the meal was hilarious. Some of the adults started stripping (pg rated) and it was hilarious! Oh and I forgot to mention the love of my life Bobitza (not really, inside joke). Thats another story for another blog. But after we left the mountin :( we went back to valcea. Sad face I know right.
