Arrived

I arrived in Romania today and what a whirlwind it has been! The administrator; George picked me up from the very small airport and we drove 90 minutes through the dark streets to House of Angels. He drove a very small and old car that literally vibrated and the wind whistled through the windows. There is also a very cold, rainy and windy storm happening right now too.
As we drove through the vast areas, street dogs roamed and the odd person would be riding their bike or walking on the side of the road. It is much different than home, and to be blunt, it is quite rural in comparison.

90 minutes later, we pulled up to a grand fence and entered through with the assistance of the guard. George showed me around the facility, and I am the only one staying here right now. It is the facility for the children's meals, education, physical therapy and medical needs.
The wind is blowing and it is still quite cold, so it is a little hard to sleep right now, and I probably should, it is 1 am Romania time.

I will be meeting the children, the staff and posting photos tomorrow...stay tuned!
