I bought some more fiber from Orna Willis. I just can't resist fiber, especially so nicely packaged...

Room At Hanganu
The room is SMALL! It's got no real chairs - only the tiny stools. The sole table is shorter than a coffee table. There's a desk, kind of. The bathroom is normal sized. You can see the bed in the second picture. It's on bricks, with a small foam mattress. The bed's entered through the little arch in the fireplace wall. Evidently, this is the traditional way northern Moldovans built their houses. The idea was warmth! The last picture is of the entrance into the room from the courtyard. Yes, we had our own little bridge.
Teal Temari
This temari is destined, along with some others (not yet made), to be a gift. The design was from a stitchalong on Talk Temari, and I think it came out pretty nice.

Moldovan Parilla
This is the Moldovan version of a parilla. Notice that they put the wood directly under the cooking surface, and that they also have an oven attached. This was not in use while we were at the hotel, but it's obviously been used often.
Courtyard Details
All these pictures were taken in the courtyard of the hotel. The place is a treasure trove of wildlife, with tiny frogs and insects in the pools of water and many kinds of flowers.
