While we were strolling through the National Village Museum, which is a collection of houses from all the different areas of Romania, we found this house which we all thought resembled where the Hobbits lived in "The Lord of the Rings" movie. What do you think?
Terry at the Bucharest Hard Rock Cafe...
Strolling through Herastrau Park we came upon some rather interesting head sculptures of the various individuals behind the founding of the European Union. You can see that Kay has his "ear". A little bit of history - we walked by the famous balcony of what used to be Comunist Party Headquarters where Ceausescu made his last speech - see the You-Tube video. Romania suffered painfully during the 25 year reign of Ceausescu. And on December 21, 1989 he delivered his last speech. Of all the Soviet bloc countries, only Romania's government transfer ended with a dead leader.
A little schedule update for you all...on Wednesday April 22 we are heading out on a road trip to the Moldavia region to see "The Painted Monestaries". We will be gone until Sunday thus our posting may lapse for awhile. But we will resume upon our return to Bucharest.
La revedere, Kay and Augusto
