... 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. <br><br>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.

... morning we were leaving to Constanta (Black Sea). Saturday morning we went to church and in the afternoon we visited Ceahlau Nature Reserve. The nature was very nice and I took some photos to try show you how it is. Apparently it was one of the hottest summers on record but still everything was so green. In the evening we went again to visit some friends. Finally we went to say goodbyes to Roxy's Grandparents (mum's side) where tears were flowing (meaning Roxy ...

... bad that the weather wasn't better. The other thing is that all the roads in the area are being totally rebuilt (touristic areas) and this created quite a bit of traffic. I didn't mind as I had more opportunities to take the photos :-). People from the villages were selling various berries from the forrests on the side of the road and we stopped to buy some raspberries (Roxy loves them and so do I ...

... did all the talking. :-) For lunch we stopped at one of the fields and had picnic lunch. We also went to see Cetatea Neamtului fortress but unfortunately they were doing some refurbishments and we couldn't go in. I managed to get some photos from the distance thou. Finally we went to an animal park where we saw Romanian animals like deers, bears, foxes, various birds, etc. Unfortunately there were no ...

... their clothes to be "more comfortable". :-) After that we went to the reception where the proceedings started at 7pm. The restaurant was impressive and there was so much food that I think half was not even eaten. The restaurant was well arranged and the atmosphere was great. We were at the table with people we knew and it was great. Here the custom is to try to steal the ...

... For lunch we all got together at Roxy's parents place (all the family that is here and some friends). The chefs were good to me and made especially for me vegetarian food. :-) After lunch Roxy showed some of our photos to the people present until Roxy's mum made it known to everybody that she wanted a nap. :-) Yes, I am ashamed to say but we did have a nap in the afternoon. :-) In the evening (10pm!!!) we are going to play soccer with some guys.

... main city was going to be really dull, but there were a smattering of sites, like some beautiful churches and an old fortress. And guess what? I got caught in a thunderstorm, my third thunderstorm of the trip (Arles, Venice, now Suceava)!! And I hear Seattle weather is perfect these days! So that was a wonderful day. Also, this is my first experience on this trip with a hostel. I kind of hate the hostel/backpacker idea. I ...
