Bucharest-Bound

Well, it's that time again. I am getting ready to hit to road for a trip back to Romania. The craziest thing I want to mention is that by car I can reach Bucharest in 16 hours, but PC volunteers are not allowed to drive so I am taking the train, which will take 27 hours. (Add to that, 7 hours from Novomoskovsk to Kiev). The trip from Rhode Island took 23 hours door to door. Go figure. Those of you who had followed my studio blog will most likey remember those postings from the month that I spent there in 2010. It was a memorable time for me, but who could ever forget my hospital stay? http://papergirlsstudio.blogspot.com/2010/11/in-my-dirty-hospital-johnny.html What a nightmare!  It's been a few years and I am feeling really good now and I don't plan on visiting THAT place again. I will be visiting with my friends however, and I am looking forward to a fun visit. I'll be in Bucharest a few days and then we'll travel to Constanta, which is a city on the Black Sea. We have an exhibition of our work happening at the museaum of art there and I am happy to be able to help with the installation.  The art work has been touring in Romania since 2010...it's amazing that the show is still strong and gaining many followers. All the shows have been extremely successful. There have been catalogs printed and many articles written about the work. I am happy I have been able to continue with the Cultural Book Exchange while in service to the Peace Corps, and very lucky that my Romanian friend and colleague has been able to continue working and planning the touring exhibition. Take a peek if your interested...
