My birthday celebrations continued as several other volunteers and I visited several wineries in my raion (District/County) the weekend after my birthday. Moldova has some of the best wine in the world and we visited two of the best, Pucari and Et Cetera. We stopped by an Italian Pizza resturant (L’angolo Italinano pizza) for probably the best pizza in Moldova. Some of the volunteers stayed with me at my host family’s house; their visist included food and wine with my host family, tour of the gardens, river and forest, and visiting with lots of animals. Thank you to my wonderful PCV friends for an amazing weekend! (and Thank you to Hillary for the great additional photos.)
