A Thousand Books

I just made a 300 mile trip to Chicago to send about 700 pounds of books to several Peace Corps volunteers in Romania. That brings the total to 8000± pounds in the past 3 years.

I found Bucovina Restaurant and had a great plate of sarmalute.

I stayed for the Christmas party given by The Round Table Society, a non-profit group of (mostly) Romanian-born people, trying to make a difference.They generously presented me with the 'Round Table Society Bridging Communities Partnership Award' for my book project.

This actually adds to the 800 pounds I sent at the end of October.
