The real conversation with Mark

Mark called yesterday morning (Sunday). The conversation that we had imagined on Saturday between Mark and Christina never took place. Christina, in her sleepy state with the phone as her security blanket in her bed, never answered an international call.

So, it was great to hear Mark's voice on the other end of the phone--he sounded very clear. I talked to Inga as well, and could hear David in the background saying they got a sandwich for 30 cents.

So they are safe and sound--they had a traditional Moldovan meal Saturday night, as well. And they have paid for a couple nights in the hotel, and will continue to do so for the duration of their stay.

Sounds like they won't starve or sleep on the streets.

Till next time,
