Beautiful Tulcea market with fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs.

Saturday morning, women gather to gossip at the market square. Their husbands sat on the next bench. Some things are universal!
Petru took this aerial view of Tulcea. The large yellow building in the middle houses a grocery store on the lower floor and a mall shopping area on the upper floors. Our hotel is the tall building northeast of the yellow building. The market, Casa Nuestra, NOROC offices, the Orthodox Church, IBIS B&B, as well as the orphanages are within walking distance.
Sorry for the sloppiness of the last post. I think I was half asleep.
Marty, Sharon and I rode the bus with the apartment kids back to Tulcia last night. Some of the children live in the orphanage and some of the older teens live in apartments with a supervisor.
Our last day at camp was wonderful! Perfect weather, great participation and everyone got along beautifully. Like all teenagers, they spent the first part of camp learning the boundaries. There was a little tension. By the next day, all was fine. These kids have such troubled loves, but somehow, they cope. More about camp later!
This morning, Marty and I walked a couple of blocks to an outdoor food market. Beautiful produce! We bought local cherries and peaches. Wanted to buy much more, but I can't bring it home. Very sweet people in Romania. I haven't seen a single example of rude behavior toward us.
We then walked to meet the pre-school children at an indoor play area for young children. It's kind of like a play area at McDonald's or Chick Fillet, only much, much larger. In addition to climbing toys, their are riding toys, puzzles, etc. It was very clean and nice. I believe it is a privately owned business that parents pay to take their children to, but NOROC reserved the entire room this morning for our group. These are the same children we saw last Saturday. Such a joy to see their precious faces again. More about this later.
Sharon conducted her second Play Therapy Workshop with over 50 participants! Very well received! More about this later, too.
Tonight, we'll attend some type off closing dinner. Some of the kids will be there, in addition to NOROC staff and volunteers.
Love to you all,
Bobbie Ann
