Sacueau

Yesterday Nicu and I piled into Feri's old Dacia and drove at about 20 to 30 miles per hour up and down bumpy roads into the little village of Sacueau. We had a fun day but it ended with a husband and wife fighting and the two families engaging in a full-blown Gypsy brawl.

Feri asked Nicu what could we do, as enough people were trying to separate those fighting and just getting beaten or fighting themselves, so Nicu called those who went to Church to leave the fighting alone. My friend Lemon came up and asked if I was scared, and I said no, and she laughed and gave me a big hug. An old man walked up to me and assured me that Sacueau was a peaceful village and this was the first time this had ever happened. HA! The first time I went to Sacueau they had all just finished a fight. But they didn't want me to be scared to return to the village.

In another village, Calatele, with Marinella and her friend. The girl I'm holding, Marinella, is about 13. She stepped on a nail a few days before so couldn't walk very well. She wanted to see Silvana so I carried her to the campfire. That kid was SOOO light! I think my six year old sister weighs more.

Not sure if this was a snake, train, or just kids who liked my clothes begging for attention.
