After chasing appointment after appointment this past week, the weekend finally arrived. It is odd to be on vacation and yet long for the Saturday.
We had a lovely game night with my parents, and slept in. This morning we took the bus into town and now we are having coffee with Claudiu, conversing about his book cover and the word play in the title. The book is being translated into English as we speak. Estetica lui Norman Manea.
The cool thing about our apartment and area we live in is that the food we have access to is all organic. Our neighbors live a somewhat archaic life. It’s delightful. There is a shepherd with a huge flock of sheep on the hills nearby. And we buy green onions, fresh eggs, fresh milk, fresh bread from the corner store. The lady went in the back and milked the cow and pulled the onions from her garden to sell to us at a ridiculously great price.
It will be hard to leave. We want to spend Christmas here.
