Sledding in Chisinau!
After we returned to our friends' home, the stress of the airport saga melted away and we very much enjoyed our visit.
Monday evening, it started to snow, and it snowed through the night. Several inches. Everything looked so beautiful and peaceful, covered in a blanket of white snow. (Here is a photo of the back garden)
There was only one thing to do: Go SLEDDING!
Peggy had *never* been sledding in her life. I can't remember the last time I went sledding, but it could have been 30 years ago. I had been hoping that Peggy would have a chance to go sledding while we were in Moldova, but it just never worked out.
Here we were, with this extra bonus day in Chisinau, and we were able to go sledding with our friends!
Turns out that the park behind the American Resource Center has some great hills for just this purpose
Wow! Did we have fun! What a treat!
Peggy rolled over her first 2 times and wanted to give up. Then our Swedish friends gave her some tips, and on the third time, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
