Sighisoara

Noapte Buna!

Because Jack Sparrow hangs out at Tapas...me, hannah and Olga

Yesterday we went to Sighisoara for the medieval festival. Since I am such a good planner, I looked up the trains and such, and decided we were going to take a 6am train. So there, 10 of us ended up at the train station at 5:20am, chipper and ready to go! I thought there was 11 of us, so in my sleepy state I got 11 tickets, but it was fine because they were less than $5. The train looked like a place where people would be killed, and going through a pitch black tunnel for like 3 minutes had me really nervous, but three hours we arrived, unharmed, in sighisoara!

We started the day in a coffee shop, and then went to the main part of town. We wandered the medieval festival for a while (think renaissance fair). We climbed to the top of the clock tower, went to the torture room museum (which was disappointing, i was hoping for some excitement!), and climbed 177 steps to the top of the mountain to wander through an old german graveyard. It was a nice, chill, relaxing day with some awesome people.

It's crazy to think I come home in two weeks. I've fallen so much in love with this place that it will be weird to return home. Since I've done a lot of the travelling I've wanted to do, I'm really just enjoying the people I'm here with. They're all amazing in their own ways, and I really hope that even though we're scattered around the globe, that we can all stay in touch. I feel like these are the people that will change the world one day.

Tomorrow starts camp at hospice, so no physio this week, but a lot of love and a lot of fun with the kids. I'm really excited to see some of the children that I haven't seen since week one!

and here are some sighisoara pictures!!!
