Romanian Summer Camp

July was a busy but fun month. I flew back to the States with Catalina and the kids at the end of June, then turned right back around about a week later to Romania. Since it was the middle of summer and the flight window was short, I ended up booking a 48 hour long plane route which took me from Atlanta to Providence, then to Dublin, then Milan, Bucharest, and then three hours by van to Brasov. It was nice having a ten hour layover to explore Dublin a bit, but I was exhausted by the time I got to Brasov. I look forward to a similar trip on the way back.

My Experience with "Dis"Orienteering

This is Derek writing, and what I'm about to say may seem like a shock to some of you who don't know me any deeper than my stoic outward appearance:

Since being in Romania, I have personally found the lack of social interaction to be more and more difficult. We have dialogued with many neighbors and we have met a good number of Romanians here, but our social network and our ability to communicate at depth with those inside of that network is quite limited. I have noticed myself, over the past few weeks, growing a deeper desire to have more social interaction. That is a first for me, as 1) I tend to be fine with solitude and 2) in the States, I never had to work for community. We were surrounded by our church, work, family, and neighborhood communities and there was always something going on. So as I've been trying to find more social interaction, it seems metaphorically fitting, then, that last weekend I was able to get my biggest dose of social interaction in Romania yet - by going orienteering.
