I have loved living next to the River Nistru; it’s one of my favorite sites during the walks I take around Criuleni. On the opposite shore we can see Transnistria.
And today, Kerry and I decided to go swimming in it, and we found a beach area to hang out at. When we swam out to the middle of the river, we apparently went out farther than the Moldovan felt comfortable. Everyone on the shore gathered around to watch as a man wordlessly boated out to towards us, and followed us until we were in safe waters. And then, after we returned to the shore, another man came over to tell us that we shouldn’t swim that far out because it’s dangerous. Never mind the fact that we were swimming well, and for several hours earlier, multiple boys had gone swimming out in the middle as river as well, yet no the other Moldovans sent a boat out to them. It gave Kerry and me a good laugh for the rest of the day.
