There's a bus?

Today we do not have electricity, I'm not sure why since the magazine down the street and the medical center have it. Probably there is a very reasonable Moldovan explination that I have yet to discover. However, when we do not have electricity we do not have running water in the house because the pump from the well is electric. I wonder when it will come back...

Today I made it down to my medical center again. Getting there is about an hour on foot, but I had to talk to my partner about the seminar in Chisinau in about two weeks and get some stuff taken care of. I decided to walk today because it looked like rain and I have not yet developed the ability to ride my bike while using an umbrella. So when I finally got there my partner looked at me and said "You know there's a bus every hour between Drochia and Șuri that comes right by here and costs 1 leu, right? Why don't you ever take the bus instead of walking?" So when I went home I caught the bus and my travel time was cut to about 25 minutes, which will be even less without mud.

They say you learn something new every day. Yesterday I learned where the sidewalk is on one road, today I learned there's a bus. Good to know.
