Vacation in Romania
Last week, right after the Halloween party in my village, a few of us volunteers took off to neighboring Romania to celebrate Halloween, fall, and having been in Peace Corps for a year already. What a difference a few hundred kilometers and some mountains make... Romania is beautiful!... in a different way than Moldova. Where Moldova is calm and farm centric, with rolling hills and isolated villages-- Romania has jutting moutains, castles, fortified churches and interesting cities (a plus from not having ever joined the USSR-- all their old churches and towns are still standing, and have not been demolished or replaced with sovietstyle block architecture-- like the cities in Moldova have). Anyway, it was the perfect time of year-- we did some hiking and site seeing-- (how easy it is to get around when you know the langauge!) Dracula's home was a great place to spend Halloween...
