Cricova Winery
On our last Friday in Moldova our students took us to the Cricova Winery just outside Chisinau. Once inside the winery we descended 60 meters underground into the massive cellar. The winery was amazing. There were several dining halls that were richly decorated and we saw a storage area where people can rent out space for their private collections. some of these collections dated back to 1902 and Putin himself had a section of the cellar. Unfortunately our tour did not include tasting but we did try a bottle of Champaign later on at a cafe (pretty good actually).

The end of LEADER
And so leader has come to and end for me, at least as far as teaching is concerned. I am really happy I had the opportunity to teach in Moldova. The students were fantastic and the business plans which were presented as final projects were all fantastic. I have high hopes for these students and hopefully I am able to help some of them out down the road. At the end of this project Melanie, Syed, Lauren and I became close friends and I couldn't have asked for a better group of Ivey students to teach with. Looking back on both this year in Moldova as well as last years experience in Ukraine, I can safely say that LEADER has been one of the most influential experiences of my life.
On to Turkey...
