We have gotten so many fun emails asking about our home, we thought we'd show you instead of telling you about it. It's 4 bedroom, 2 big bathroom, lots of outdoor rooms and spaces with 3 balconies/patios. It is a 3 story home, but we discovered from the outside there is actually a 4th story, so of course, we found the hidden attic ladder and the kids and I went up and checked it out.
We are maybe 1 mile from the Black Sea, which is beautiful and tropical feeling here. There are locked gates on both ends of the house and a gardener's shack in the back where she ( Cocoa) hangs out and does her work, it's a big job for her with the hot sun and constant breezes to keep everything watered and maintained. We don't often take pictures of our homes, so you know we have all really taken to this one.
We have air-conditioning, but only units in 2 of the bedrooms, so it will be interesting when it really gets hot. So far, the sea breeze keeps everything very comfortable. We have learned that the Romanian people are very superstitious. One of their superstitions is that if there is moving air (a.k.a. more than one window open at a time, or too much windflow) you will immediately get sick. Thus, rooms, buses, etc are very stagnant, even in sweltering heat. It's funny at church to watch the missionaries turn on the air-conditioning and the locals turn it right off. We're glad Romanians smell better than their Latvian or Russian counterparts or it could be BAD!
