... river into Buda and Pest. We spend most of our time in Buda, visiting a beautiful church (thanks girl!), donating to the Hari Krishna and enjoying another (wrongly made) Café Latte. Pest doesn’t seem too appealing, but could be we did not see the best of it. Mira takes the opportunity to go to the hairdressers and we eat a typical Hungarian meal in a sleazy restaurant! Maybe it’s me, but this city does not appeal to me much, one day it needs a (longer) second change ...

... Die machen auch fuer 100lei Ausfluege ins Delta. Wir haben fuer ein Doppelzimmer 40lei die Nacht bezahlt (fuer zwei Personen), aber die Dusche und das Klo waren ueber dem Hof und es gab kein warmes Wasser. <br>Vor Ort gibt es zwei kleine Laeden, aber keinen Bankautomaten. Die Laeden sind gegen Nachmittag ziemlich ausverkauft, ausserdem teuer. <br>Als wir dort waren, konnte man auch in ...

Kierowc&#261; okazuje si&#281; Dan, wprawdzie nie na s&#322;u&#380;bie, ale... policjant :D S&#322;ucha&#322; old school rocka, w jego samochodzie by&#322;o przyjemnie ch&#322;odno, i fantastycznie nam si&#281; rozmawia&#322;o. Droga, któr&#261; jechali&#347;my, by&#322;a prawie pusta. Zacz&#281;&#322;am si&#281; ju&#380; zastanawia&#263;, jak my si&#281; dostaniemy do Tulczy, gdy Dan nas wysadzi tam gdzie mia&#322;.

Ok, I am still very impressed of what I have seen there. It's really great to see how people succeded to conserve all their traditions and just to simply admire the way they're spending they're lifes ... so simple, but at the the same they are entirely satisfied and they don't wish for anything else.

But unlike Miami, people here help if they can. In Miami, I was practically assaulted in grocery stores when I first moved there at 21 years of age for not speaking Spanish. And I did try. I was practically assaulted for not speaking it well enough. My excuse for still not ...

... were, since many people seem to look at my hand to see if I am married, and seem rather shocked that I am not. On Friday, I take a boat to Sf. Gheorghe, where the Danube meets the Black Sea. This is where the banding camp is. Low on computer battery, and need to go find an electrical adaptor.

... fruitful...as the going price was over USD$350!!!! So...instead of complaining...I enjoyed 3 days in Tulcea with my new friends from Ireland and Romania! Chatting...going to cafes...meeting with boat captains and government officials (who wanted a "cut" of my travel "action")...and...finally...departing northwards. Aug 29--a stop in Galati overnight (a FREE stay with a shop owner I met on the street--THANK YOU SO MUCH! Her family invited me ...
