During our two and a half months of training, our Moldova 17 group would meet in the nearby city of Ialoveni for technical training sessions. There were 38 of us in all. Oftentimes, after a long day of lectures and technical sessions, we would unwind by sitting down outside of a bar with a few beers and snacks. It was a great way to get to know everybody and get a little break from the hectic schedule of training. The group in this picture is a mixture of different training villages, but all are part of the Moldova 17 group. Starting with the girl in the grey sweater in the front left and going clockwise, there is: Victoria (she was in my training village), Andrea (also in my training village), Stuart, Ari, Rok (also in my training village), Brad, me, and Adam. Everybody in the Moldova 17 group has stayed pretty close. It's a good group of people, and I am enjoying getting to know them all. Only three people have opted to go back to the States, and that's pretty good compared to many of the other groups.
