Well, not really, since Bucharest isn't on the Danube. But we are moving further east and will be arriving in Bucharest on Sunday, June 1st.
We already have a full plate for the first week: Doug's starting to work on Monday and I will have to dedicate my time hunting for a place to live. It seems that the rental market in Bucharest is at least as hot as in Belgrade - at least, that's what the prices indicate. My, I could easily rent a nice home in the DC area for what we will have to pay in Bucharest. Let's hope that we can find something equally nice as in Belgrade.
As much as we are looking forward to moving to Bucharest and to being EMPLOYED (can you spell regular pay? We still haven't been paid once for this year!), leaving Belgrade is a bittersweet experience.
We will miss our house. The skylights and the garden in the back which makes for nice cool afternoons on the balcony (although the big tree was knocked down by a thunderstorm two nights ago). The green market around the corner and the little bakery down the street with those yummy pastries. Alan's nanny Natsa and Milena, the maid, who are both mourning about Alan leaving (nobody's really sad about us leaving, or so it seems). Our friends who have made our stay so pleasant.
But there is no time to get misty-eyed. Lots of packing to do.
