Friday night we boarded a train to a city in Western Romania called Arad. We of CURA Romania are much bigger fans of this city. In Bucharest, people weren't exactly accommodating and didn't really appreciate our presence. But Arad is beautiful and the people are great.
Our train ride from Bucharest constituted (hands down) the longest night of my life. We left at about midnight and arrived around 11 in the morning. We were in a cramped little car and we snuggled up to try to sleep as best we could. It turned out to be an unsuccessful venture. We put packs on the floor to lay on, tried to stretch out and use each other as pillows and foot rests, but to no avail. And as our train ride started to some to an end, we started going a little crazy. And it seemed that any time someone would look at his or her watch, they would say we had about 3 hours left. And an hour later, we still somehow had 3 hours left. Math is clearly not our strong suit...
And today we will be going around Arad to see the city and spend the day learning more about what the city has to offer.
Ew. What a miserable ride. Long nights as such are awful. But oh buddy it's going to make you so happy the next few nights of GOOD sleep you get. :)
