Today, the capacity of my little town of Lupeni just exploded in my mind. I saw a sight I never thought I see. It happen this afternoon as all the leaders were walking home from a week in Viata. A bread store on the corner across from the office has been under renovations for the past few weeks. It was open as we walk by so we stopped in to check it out. The store was very cute on the inside a bakery counter, yellow flowers on the wall and filled with lots specialty items- also free samples of pastries! (which is a step in itself b/c Romania is not know for its customer service) But as I turned the corner the real surprise came, upon the shelf to my amazement was....one 11 lei, blue-liddet, brown jar of Cinderella PEANUT BUTTER!!! Now to some of you this may seem like nothing to get excited about none the less hyperventilate over. But to those of you who have been overseas and love peanut butter know my plight. And the sudden sunshine that has come into my life.
(This is an especially great thing for the summer time as most of lunches in Viata consist of mystery meat and Paeta- a meat like substances that looks and smells similar to cat food, yet Romanian's love it- peanut butter is my one escape from such a lunch)
