Here are a few pictures from the walk we took before going to the clinic Sunday afternoon. This is the road we take to go to the clinic. The first one is me and the clinic cow. It's a little close for comfort; she's got some sharp horns!
Most families have a small garden, some kind of poultry, and pigs. Many have their own cow. Here's a typical house with its requisite flock of geese. A woman actually came out of the house while I was taking the picture and said something in Romanian. I have no idea what she said, but it didn't sound very nice; I don't think she wanted me to take a picture of her geese. I was hoping I wouldn't get caught! She also had a flock of turkeys in the side yard.
We Americans find the numerous horse-drawn carts a novelty, but for Romanians with cars, they're a bit of a nuissance. Driving and roads in Romania? Crazy! Romanians drive fast and they don't worry too much about how much room they have between cars. And I won't even mention the potholes and the almost one-lane bridges that we crossed at the same time huge trucks did. I still shake just thinking about it.
