City celebrates. Just Another Day in the Villages.

Today was the St George's Day parade. 98% of Moldova is listed as Russian Orthodox so there were lots of Priests involved in the parade.
The villages are populated with the poorest people of Moldova. They mostly still draw their household water from community wells like these two pictured. They grow their own food, raise their own animals, and help each other when they can.
The city workers are pictured here because we noticed they were cutting the city grass with cycles. Can you imagine city workers working that hard in the U.S.? The unemployment is extremley high here-so high that I heard 1/3 of the income here is from Moldovans who have left the country for work and send money back to help their families. Very desparate situation.
