Snow!

We had our first snow of the season in Chetrosu last Friday. Needless to say, my third grade class was super distracted during their lesson. But then I was distracted a bit too. Luckily I had thrown my camera in my bag that day on a whim and was able to snap some pictures of my village. The first is the abandoned house, the second is some laundry (and the reason why I spent 250 lei on a clothes rack for drying inside), and the last are the chickens that live across the street from us.











So far I like snow better than rain. The road by my house turns into a mud pit and stays that way for several days after every decent rain. This makes my walk to school double in its normal time. However, snow I'm pretty good at walking in after five years of practice in Wyoming. Also, if there was mud before, it will have frozen and that makes it a lot easier for me to get around. I haven't had to break out my yaktrax yet, but I'm a bit excited to get to use them. I wish someone would have told me about them when I was at UW, I feel like it would have been a lot easier when I had one class in Fine Arts and the next in the Classroom Building (for those who don't know, this would involve getting from one side of campus to the exact other in about 10 minutes, not an easy task without snow and nearly impossible when there was).
