Wednesday: Revolution Sites and Soccer Matches






On Wednesday Emi's father took us to Timisoara, a neighboring town where the 1989 Revolution began. We stood on the street where the riots began, saw buildings still marked with bullet holes, and visited the Revolution monument and cemetery, where hundreds of victims, all killed over a period of five days, are buried.

In the evening some of the guys played a soccer match: Romanians versus Americans. I've never seen so many sweaty people in one room. When asked to comment about the game, Collin says, "I have no comment."
