Real Romania

Hello, we are in Romania. Its Lac here, Sal's out spending her $$$$

We are in Brasov, a smallish town on the foot of the mountains. It’s really beautiful. Coming in on the train you would think it was still the 17th century. Little villages scattered around, farmers still cutting hay by hand and horse drawn carts all around. Brasov is about 500 years old and most of its intact. I love the little old buildings and tiny streets. It's a walled city and most of the original walls are still around the town. I don't think many tourists come here...its still cheap, good food and our hotel room is like a palace! We are in Transylvania (region)! Cool....We are all well and Sal and I are still laughing about our food fight in Budapest... Also it was great see Rach. She is having so much fun living in Hungary. Anywho, times up. Hope all is well where you are and speak soon.
