Romania 1


Just came back from 5 days in Romania. I loved every minute of it. What is not to love about spend some time with great friends on a beautiful country? Photos in future post. Waiting on DH to do some fancy "stitch" with them.
On the right are some future crafts projects. Romanian fabrics, ribbons, and magazine. I love the ribbon with the colors of the flag. The white paper is from the Peasant's Museum in Bucharest. I bought small pottery items there (not on the picture) and my friend gave me the most gorgeous blouse from the gift shop. This is a must see museum.
When I travel I like to read the "Lonely Planet" guide books. They are very "cranky" on their reviews of everything. So you are prepared; but you also realize that, most time, it is not so bad. I also like Ricky Stevens guide books.
I am glad I did read the Lonely guide (thanks CH library). I am very ignorant on Eastern European EVERYTHING; and the book was wonderful to get the basics.
Just want to say: Romanian people, my hats off to you! Thanks for such great memories.

This is the first post on this blog. I am leaving for a sabbatical in Sydney Australia for 5 months and plan to blog about my experiences there. This will be my third winter for 2009. I am a summer person! I will also blog in Portuguese, so family can follow along.
Welcome.
Este é o meu primeiro blog. Marido e eu estamos indo para Sydney, Australia por 5 meses. Vou escrever um pouco de la. Este será o meu terceiro inverno em 2009. E eu que gosto de verão.
Bem vindos.
