Bucharest had been accomplished and we were moving on.
The train station had some quite unpleasant line action happening.
Fruit quality in the United States is unrivaled. It was difficult to find a banana at this shop that wasn't split open.
While wandering around I bought some of these fun pretzels held together with some twine.
We brought plenty of berries for his highness. He was making some pretty threatening faces while chewing on them.
We got off the train in Brașov, Romania.
I found this awesome folk music channel on the television.
Zoe and I returned to the train station to look for Ernie's diaper bag/booster seat thing that was misplaced. No luck but thankfully it was something relatively expendable.
Brașov is a city in the Transylvania region of Romania, which probably gives you a hint on why we were in this neck of the woods.
Ern was on pigeon chasing duty today.'
I was keeping an eye on Ernie at this fountain and got stung by a bee. It hurt but was an interesting experience. The pain got worse over time and swelled a bit. Haven’t been stung by a bee in probably 20 years or more. Wonder if it’s my new yuzu flavored deodorant I bought in France.
We stopped for dinner at Ograda. It was supposed to be a local cuisine joint.
Ernie's berry faces today have been great.
I got the slowly cooked beef cheeks with truffle mashed potatoes.
I grabbed some locally made delights.
Nugat cu stafide translates to "Nougat with raisins". It was very fluffy and not bad sandwiched between two wafers.
I don't really like giving Ernie balloons because I think he's too young and will pop the thing or try to eat it. That type of thing. Well some random on our walk home very nicely offered one to him. So now we have a balloon of our very own.
The US basketball team won. While it cost me my Youtube account, it was fun to see some of the Olympics. I will always remember this one, partially because I'm so mad about their betrayal that it will be the last one I ever watch.
