I am glad to find that you too remember Tereblesti. By the way, it has not
changed much in 66 years. You have now provided me with the reason
why we had to wait at the border, for such a long time. While we waited, my
parents and their friends rented a room from a Romanian peasant, built a
wooden platform and 18 people slept on it. Previously the peasant had used
the room to store manure.
