Our first day

We slept in, got up slowly, put on layers of clothes, and then hit the town!

It was cold, but not too bad! There was some left over snow on the ground which was fun. We walked around and just tried to figure out what was around us. We headed over to the town square, which was full of pigeons, and I was terrified I was going to get pooped on by one of them!!!

We started to get hungry and searched for places to eat. But then we realized that we only had Euros and they take Lei or Ron. So a new mission was set out to find a way to exchange money. I found this lady who told me that there was a machine that would do it just down the road. So we get down there, and it tells you the conversion rates, asks what money you are putting in, and what you want it exchanged to. A pretty nifty little machine i'd say.

So we put in 40 Euros...... and 6 coins come out.....

There were 5 coins that say 50 on them and one that said 10. We were so confused. Did we just get ripped off? or are these magical 50 dollar mini coins?? We stood there for a good ten minutes trying to decide what to do and where to go and what these coins were. We decided to go back to the lady and ask her about the coins. JUST as we were about to walk away, we look back at the machine and see that all the bills are sitting in a slot underneath. hahahah!

So needless to say.. we felt pretty dumb. But at least we didn't walk away leaving all the bills there! That would have sucked!

We settled on eating in this little pizza place (mostly because it was the only thing that I would eat). And you can smoke anywhere here (yuck) so it was a bit gross inside but it started to rain so we had no choice but to go in. The pizza was good though! We still are not really sure if you are supposed to tip here, so we did anyways just in case. After we were done eating Jenna and I sat and just talked about life, things that we love, people that are important to us, what we see for our futures, etc. It was a great little talk! Then we looked outside and it was snowing!!!!!

We quickly put on all of our layers and headed out to play in the snow!! It was snowing really hard, but we enjoyed it while walking back to our place. All in all it was a great day!! I'm still a bit tired and confused on the time change and such, but that won't stop me! ...... and now I must go because I have to do the Insanity workout that Shandley gave me to keep me in shape while i'm here!

Jenna has been posting all of the pictures to her facebook because for some reason its not letting me upload them onto here anymore. SO if you would like to check out pictures of our adventures so far you can add her as a friend and view them!! Jenna Dawn Engelage.

I love you and miss you all!!! And Thank you for reading this far :)
