First Day in Gagy!


      We left Sibiu This morning, passing through several picturesque towns on our way to Gagy.  We had to meet Zoli and our host families (the Nagy family, the Simo family, the Borbely family, and Zoli) in a neighboring village because the community center in Gagy is undergoing renovations.  We were greeted warmly and had a delicious lunch of meatball soup and Weiner schnitzel.
A Warm Welcome

     We then spent some time with our host families before meeting at Zoli's to see his church and get introduced to the village.

     We then took a walk around the village and got a taste of village life.  A man saw us admiring his garden and invited us for some polinka.

We took in the scenes such as the ones pictured below and acknowledged to Zoli that life here is different from life in Arlington.  We are all charmed by the village and its people.
