On another note, Romania is still without an Ambassador since President Obama has yet to appoint. However, our ever resourceful Michael was able to get permission for us to walk the grounds of the Amabassador's vacant home. No pictures were allowed, except outside the gate... thus our photo opp was limited to standing by the seal.
Proud parent moment...lol
Today we have a special feature, "Notes from Augusto" for your reading pleasure.Day 6 – April 18th:
Today was a day to rest up a bit. Kay and Vickie accompanied Michael and Marina to the local “Costco-type” store to stock up on supplies. We then accompanied the boys to their tennis lessons at the Romanian Sports Federation facilities. Interesting tidbit: their teacher is from the Swiss Embassy.
The four travelers enjoyed a leisurely luncheon in the gardens of a restored villa from the 1890’s – Restaurant Doina. This time we didn’t have to wander around in search of an eating establishment as we had passed the place in one of our many walks to the Metro.
And, have I mentioned that the weather has been fabulous? We have had sunny days so far with highs in the upper 60’s and lower 70’s.

Well that is it for today, Augusto and Catherine
