Here's a somewhat hazy picture of the whole family, except for Mitya (I think he was taking the picture). I really enjoyed my time with them, and it ended all too quickly. But I have had the chance to visit them quite often. That's one of the nice things about Moldova being so small. Even though I'm now in Recea, which is much farther north than Rusestii Noi, it's still only about a three hour bus ride to the Noi. So, I see them as often as I can. They helped make my transition into Moldova, such an easy one, and I hope to keep in touch with them for a lifetime.
