Here's some quotes from my four hour hike along the Nistru. The pictures are in my photo album but they're not very clearly marked. This should help you imagine the randomness and hilarity that insued when I went hiking with two strangers (now friends) and Matt.

 

I thought it was a stone! It was poo.
-Matt, navigating the marsh

I'm not good with long boring historical biographal books called Ghandi.
I think.
-Anna, sharing a clearly life-changing account of the civil-rights leader

FwooooooSH!
-Anna, proving that sound effects make everything awesomer

I'm convinced that looked less dorky when I was doing it.
-Anna, commenting on Matt's bouncing on ice to test its strength

You'd think I woulda noticed a pink church on the way in...
-Anna, attempting to situate herself among unknown landmarks

Yuriy needs to be a little more communicative.
-Anna on Yuriy after he ran down a hill and across a field in a display
of his leadership prowess

Worst. Summer house. Ever.
-Matt, describing pile of sticks in the Nistru

Ima call you Mountain Goat Matt. Until you fall.
-Anna with words of encouragement for Matt as he climbed a trail

That guy on the scooter must be awful cold. His eyes are probably
frozen. He has eye-cicles!
-Anna making Matt's brain hurt (in my defense this was on the way home- I was exhausted and giddy because I survived)

This is your fault, you know. You broke me.
-Anna's response to Matt's wtf-expression after talking to her cheese

"Why is he blinking?"
"Maybe he has something in his eye!"
-Mirabela helping Yuriy figure out why the car ahead of us had his
blinkers on

(Ukranian accent) You only fucked up once, you are a good navigator
-Yuriy demonstrating the motivational skills that landed him the
Regional Director's position at Nestle

Doamna, puteti sa-mi spuneti in ce directie e norte? (Ma'am could you tell me what direction is north?)
-Anna mere moments before being crushed by the mighty boot of righteousness

The little bridge that couldn't
-Anna on a bridge "across" the Nistru that spanned all of 4 feet

"My eyeball!"
"Do I know first aid for the eyeball? I don't think I do..."
-Matt's inner-dialog in response to a horrifying call from Anna

You gave me a live animal!!!
-Anna, clearly ecstatic (read "indignant") upon receiving a snail-shell from Matt

That is a great set of quotes. And the though of Yuriy running down a hill and across a field is entertaining. Though we've no clue who that is.

@PopeOnABomb - Think tall, skinny, late twenties. Add dry wit and Ukrainian accent.  You have the recipe for fun and Yuriy
