Romania

All summer long we were roaming through the country to discover interesting places.
The latest, Muddy Volcanoes . These small volcanoes are a natural phenomenon that consists of mud being pushed to the surface by gases that emerge as bubbles.

1. Cetatea Poenari(my birthplace)
2. Vidraru Lake and Dam
3.Transfagarasan, the road across the Carpathian Mountains
4.Scarisoara Cave 
 
 
 

Flugtag in Bucharest (Flying Day)

 
 
 
 
This past week end, Bucharest turned 551 years old. It was mentioned for the first time in documents in 1459, as "Citadel of Bucharest". With this occasion, there were grand celebrations with different events: street fairs, parades, concerts (we went to see Voltaj), fireworks...
Flugtag was part of the festivities and involves team launching human powered flying crafts off a ramp into the air over the water - Dambovita


















It was stupid, but fun.
The teams showed really good imagination...
See the pictures : The Flying Mouse, The Impalers or The Aristocats...

Happy Birthday Valentina !

 
 
On Sept. 16th she turned 18. Nice!!! We wish you happiness and success in all your endeavors.

Black Sea

1. Costinesti- our preferred summer retrieve!!!
A couple of weeks ago , after 15 years, we went to Black Sea and visited a few resorts. Very disappointing... ruins, dirty water, sand crowded with umbrellas, nothing left, but memories of old days glory...


2. The Obelisc...

3...and of course Coni!
