223. Bittersweet

Yesterday I finished my Peace Corps service! It was a bittersweet moment. I left my Ohio home 809 days ago and found a home here. Durring my time in Moldova have experianced much happiness, considerable difficulties and have had an unforgettable experiance.
Moldova, imi va fi dor.   I have many stories to share that due to my very busy summer I have not had the chance too.  I hope that once things settle down I will post more stories.  I have also been asked to post about my life in America by my Moldovan friends, so maybe I will continue blogging.

222. Olympics

Me:  Did you know that Moldova now has two Olympic medals?

Host dad:  Yes.  How many does America have?

Me:  Uh, I think around fifty.

Host dad:  Well, just think, there are fifty states in the United States of America, most of them are larger than Moldova, but if each state won as many medals as Moldova the US should have at least 100 medals.

This conversation happened after the 4th of August.
