Grandma Chubby's Stuff

I hope you enjoy my postings. My husband and I are serving a mission in Romania and have had some wonderful adventures. Each of us have experiences in our life that make us different from that time forth. These experiences have done that for us.

On The Road Again!

Well, last weekend we headed out again for our Zone Conference tour. We see all kind of interesting things as we travel and we thought we would share a few of them with you. This World War II era plane is not a small cafe in the middle of nowhere! We pass it on our way to Timisoara from Deva. It's rather run-down and I think Coca-Cola must have paid to have it painted at one time but the paint is peeling and other than taking a good look at it we haven't dared check out the food!
Gypsies are amazing people. They are either very poor and live in wagons and on the street or they are building huge mansions! You can always tell a gypsy mansion by the silver, turrets on the roof. This is one example of a well-off gypsy home.

A typical Romanian Orthodox church. Every village, no matter how small, prosperous or poor, has a cathedral or two lining the streets.
This sweet gypsy girl was selling brooms on the street. Her family makes them from twigs and we bought three of them for 30 mii apiece. ( about a dollar) They do a great job sweeping up dirt and rocks!
