It has been almost a month since I last posted and in that time spring has finally arrived! It is sunny enough that I can start hanging my laundry outside to dry again. The animals are back. Goats are posted by the roadside again, cats and dogs laying in the sun, and the grandmothers have boxes of baby chicks on the buses.
We've also had a plethora of holidays. In Moldova there are two Easters. The first is your more traditional Easter, the second is "Easter of the Dead". On this day everyone goes to the cemetery to visit loved ones who have passed, get their food blessed by the priest, and have a picnic. Unfortunately, with my host parents out of the country on vacation, we didn't do much. Maybe next year I'll have pictures and more to report on this. In my village this happened on Monday, so I got a surprise day off from school. I also found out today that there will not be school next Monday either because it is Moldova's version of Memorial Day.
Mai departe (moving on): I've been in a bit of a hippie mood lately, so here's a music video for your enjoyment.
