Feeling useful but having fun

We really felt useful last week when some new friends from the off-road club invited us to help the Red Cross from Cluj in order to deliver food and clothes to people living in very remote places and hard or impossible to get by car. Red cross had the initiative, the goods and the list with the people in need and we had the off-road cars, the gas and the mood and crazyness to get up the mountains and give a helping hand and few minutes to talk to the izolated ones. So at 7:30 am we met and started the Red Cross Caravan:





It was a great opportunity for us to help those in need, to meet new people, to try the car in off-road terrain and to see how beutiful can nature be in those untouched places. Time has stopped for those people:



I've talke to an old lady of 85 living only with her old man and having their closest neighbour 5 km away and when I asked "How can you manage here alone with the household?" She asked: "Only God help us here!" Well you get to think that you take all you have for granted, it seems normal for us to have a slice of bread and a plate with soup at the table, but we cannot really tell the price for that. But those people can!



I like their serenity and the fact that they stick together and help each other. We were welcomed because we brought some hope in thei souls but they are rather harsh people and don't like their peace to be bothered.

We had some fun in the sun and in the mud as well. Here's the proof:
