| Concert during the Hram of my village, Tipala. |
 |
| I really enjoyed this tradition. All of the couples celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year come to have their vows renewed in front of the whole village. |
 |
| I thought she was adorable, and she reminded me of Candy Land. |

 |
| The couples renewing their vows arrived by caruta (horse drawn wagon). |
 |
 |
| My host mom is the homeroom teacher of this class (8B). I especially like the tomato on the bottom left :) |
 |
| Some of my wonderful 5th grade girls. |
 |
| Teacher's Day at the school. Each teacher selects an older student to teach for them for the day. Students sing, and bring flowers to the teachers. At the end of the day all of the teachers enjoy lunch together. |
 |
| Teacher's Day is also celebrated in the raion center (similar to a state capital) with a concert and presentation of certificates for certain teachers. |
 |
| My second wedding in Moldova. Very exciting, and lasting until about 4am (when I asked my host mom if we could go home to sleep). |
 |
| The same wedding. |
 |
| The Hram of Chisinau (the capital city of Moldova). It was a large celebration with great food, and a concert that lasted all day and into the night. |
