Biking

Our apartment hotel is a family run business, and the place is far from full. This means that we get excellent service. We asked if they were aware of bicycle rentals in Sibiu, but there wasn't much to choose from so they suggested we just borrow their bikes.

They even had children's bikes so Yasmin and Roya were ecstatic. There is a long ravine that has been made into a park with paths on either side. We biked to one end and found a zoo. I think we actually went in a back entrance so we thought perhaps we shouldn't stay too long for fear of being asked for our tickets.

Then we biked to the other end of the park where we found a park bench and a small cobble stone square. Here we stopped and had our thermos of tea and the girls did some skipping. We continued up the path for a bit and found a fountain and a playground and stopped to enjoy both. As we were on our way back, the skies opened up and once again, it rained! Ah well, I guess we can't complain too much, after all we got a long bike ride and a good few hours of dry weather before we raced for home in the rain.

We are having a heat wave in Ireland! Five days of blue sky and 30 degree weather! I think you must have taken some rain with you. We all still miss you...especially Julia who has not played with her barbies since Yasmin and Roya's departure. She said to me yesterday that it was month since you left. Poor thing has been keeping track on her calendar. I hope you guys continue to have a great time.
Love Elizabeth

The girls are missing Julia too, although they are keeping her memory going by singing some of the songs that they sang with Julia. Girls Rock!

Weather was better today so hopefully we're starting a roll.

Love,
Christina
