Hansel & Gretel

Today was our last day with Daddy before his trip to the US. Preparing the list of everything we want him to bring back got us thinking about things we miss . . . so Daddy treated the girls to breakfast at the Marriott hotel where they relished their pancakes with maple syrup.

After stuffing their little bellies, we took them to the opera to see Hansel and Gretel. Sung in Romanian with supertitles, I translated what I could, but the girls are familiar with the story so they knew what was going on in general and enjoyed the show. Charlotte was more interested in walking up and down the aisle or climbing the stairs at the exit.

After the opera, we headed over to the other meetinghouse for the party celebrating the 20 year anniversary of the church in Romania. Good times . . . traditional Romanian singing, and dancing in the round, followed by dinner with, yes, fresh lemonade. La multi ani!
