... American voice answered and soon I was inside his home. I felt as though this was an oasis in an otherwise foreign, unforgiving city scape. Jason was a cool guy, although no doubt cursed with perpetually itchy feet. Those itchy feet had caused him to leave America at the age of 23 and join the Peace Corps. While enlisted, he served 1 year in India, 3 years in Romania and was applying for an assignment in Mongolia living in a yurt (tepee ...

We arrange for Monica to give us a tour of the painted monasteries. She is trained as a tour guide. Public transportation to these remote sites is very limited and would take several days to see the top 4. We take a beautiful route through the hills. The monasteries are surrounded by farms. We visit Voronet, Moldovita, Suceavita, Humur. They were built around 1500 with their exterior walls decorated in extensive and ...

... only other person at the hostel is a 60 year old Korean housewife, not what I had expected in a remote area of Romania. Suceava has virtually nothing in historical or cultural stuff to see and no nightlife. The reason to come here is as a launching pad for the painted monasteries. <br><br>We find an excellent restaurant just down the street from the hostel. In all, I would say that Romania has actually been the most consistently good food of any country so far. Another surprise.

... but modern homes are beginning to populate the country. The train moves through the mountains, tightly cornering to get around the terrain. This part of Europe is built on substance farming.<br><br>In my cabin is Rodo, a 12 year old Romanian. He is working with his uncle in Timisoara to earn money and comes home to the farm every couple of months. We are the only ones in the cabin for a couple of hours. Over the journey he relates tidbits of his life. His family is ...

It is Sunday at everything except the churches are closed. CLuj has several large churches, one of which is broadcasting its sermon into the plaza. 20 people are standing outside, listening to the service while facing the church. Not sure why they don't go in. <br><br>I hike to the top of a hill for a great view. Two of the museums ...

Located out of town, but close to the economic area of the city, BLACK TULIP, a four stars hotel, represents the perfect destination for those wishing to rest. I have appreciated the room atmosphere, the quality of the services...and the high degree of refinement of the cuisine.<br>

... and Orange and Lime Green and Pink. We were to find this over and over in the mountains. It was like Bermuda. On the way to Sighisoara is Biertan, another WH site. It wasn't as inspiring as Sighisoara, and there was little information about the site. It's a fortified church with double walls. We stuck our heads though the gated door of an outbuilding to find a very small chapel with frescoes on the ...

... We had assigned seating but nobody pays attention to that as long as you get on the correct car you can pretty much sit anywhere. All was fine until this couple came on and INSISTED that they get their assigned seats. Threw us all into a bit of turmoil. It was musical chairs after that. I went and sat with them since noone else was inclined and offered them a dried apricot as my international peace offering. It ...

... We spend an hour touring the town's most notable building, the Culture Palace. It really is a place dedicated to all the fine arts, with a hall featuring stained glass windows, a gallery showcasing beautiful paintings, and a concert hall. A symphony orchestra is preparing to rehearse just as we enter the hall to see it, and we are asked to leave when the rehearsal begins. That is fine with us, as we still have another three hours to drive today and it is already ...
