... frescos. Each is surrounded by a fortification and flowers growing around its courtyard. In our last monastery, the nuns are beginning mass. They are chanting. It is only us as observers in the tiny interior. Pretty amazing.

Since the nuns get out rarely and transport costs are very high relative to local salaries, Monica turns out to be the transport provider for many of them as they send goods to/from their ...

We drove along a twisting, climbing road until we reached a spot where the narrow road runs directly beneath the overhanging rocks. The tour books call this the "neck of hell." Andrei parked the car and we walked along this most spectacular stretch of road. We noticed lawsuits-waiting-to happen where guard rails vanished and there was nothing between the edge of the road and a long ...

Piatra Neamt was a stop along the way to Sighisoara. Adrei gave us a quick tour which incuded walking through the beautiful square or park with a replica of the Little Mermaid, a gift from Queen Margrethe of Denmark, a statue of Stefan cel Mare, and colorful flower gardens. We walked up to St. John's Church with the bell tower. Andrei pointed out the niches outlined in colored ceramic bricks. The pattern continues in the Ethnographic Museum across the way.

... The clock needed some repairs and we took it to the repair shop. In the evening we met four of Roxy's friends. The conversation was in English which was great. On Friday we did bits and pieces... We went to town to get a cake for Roxy as she did when she was a kid to "feel good". Also, Roxy's cousin came with her husband to say hi so we spent some time showing them our photos and talking about "stuff". We packed most of our stuff as on Saturday night ...

Hi friends! Yesterday and today we've been touring the Northern Parts of Romania. In one of the photos you will see a map showing how close we were to Ukraine border. We were passing through many mountains forming tke Carpathians Mountain Ranges. The first stop was in Vatra Dornei where Roxy's dads family comes from. The family gathered at grandma's place where we ate and talked. After a while we went ...

... take any photos in there but I managed a few without flash. Neamt Monastery was bigger than the other two and you could tell only men are in there. I even managed to get a photo with one of the guys living there. The funny thing was when we came to this monastery the prices were as follows: Kids: 1 Lei Romanian Adults: 2 Lei Foreigners: 4 Lei You can imagine I spoke no English word at the entrance and ...

... came from Bucharest who are part of the most known orchestra in Romania (I guess it safe to assume that both families are well off :-) ). They played at both the ceremony and the reception. The ceremony in the church finished about 5:30pm. Outside the church we (Roxy) was catching up with her friends and we took some photos. After that we went home for the girls to ...

... 3.5 hours we went out of that forbidden place. :-) We spent the rest of the afternoon (what was left of it) resting and preparing for church. On Saturday we went to the church here. It's an impressive building (as per photos). The place was totally full, mainly due to 2 weddings that are due to happen on Sunday (we are invited to one of those :-) ). There were a lot of musical items (as this church is renowned for their musical talents) and special ...

Getting here to Romania was tough. First, I missed my train out of Budapest. Luckily, there was another one a couple hours later. Then, I hopped on my train to Suceava (pronounced Soo-CHAW-vaw), which was scheduled to arrive at 7:45 am. I got into a bed on the train and had a sweaty night, waking up several times. 5:00, not there yet... 6:10, not there yet... Suddenly I hear a lot of noise, looked at my watch (whose alarm did ...
