We landed in Bucharest around 4pm Romanian time. The trip to Sighisoara was supposed to only take six hours....before one of the vans broke down. NOW 12 hours later we have finally arrived at our hotel. We already have some...interesting stories to tell and it has only been the first two days! But now, we have been up for 44 hours straight with maybe 2 hours of power naps inbetween and need sleep.
We'll update soon!

Made it to London
We landed in London at 6:50 a.m. (about 1:50 a.m. our time I think) Our bodies are so out of whack, I don't know what time it is anymore! Fatigue is hitting us hard. It feels like we have had an extended all-nighter because we couldn't sleep on the plane. We're currently laying on benches in London while we wait two more hours for our next flight. Thanking God for free wi-fi.
Next stop: BUCHAREST!

Hi all!
The glory of God has already astounded me this morning. We have seen the sun set on the East coast, and rise over the U.K. in the span of 3 hours. Amazing. Wide bands of color stretch from east to west, and it’s unfortunate that I only have an 8” window to peek through at this glorious color show. The horizon is volcano red, followed by bands of buttery yetllow, fading to the most calming blue you could imagine. Beautiful.
Our trip has been ALL travel so far. International customs in DC singled me (Leah) out for extra search because I’m clearly a suspicious looking person. I have to say; I am impressed with British Airways, especially compared to American flights I have been on in the past. We had our choice of orange chicken or vegetarian lasagna for dinner, and had passion fruit cheesecake for dessert. They give EVERYONE blankets, pillows, toothbrushes, and headphones for free, and everyone has their own tv, and free movies through a touch screen system. Those Brits do travel right! The seats are heinously uncomfortable, but I’m overlooking that in light of the cheesecake experience.
