Bucharest

Last Day in Romania

Spent my last day in Romania walking around the city of Bucharest.

The Capitoline Wolf suckling the twins Romulus and Remus, the famous twin founders of Rome being fed by the wolf that allegedly raised them. The statue was favored by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, who donated copies of the statues to various places around the world
One last walk through the streets of Bucharest to send off my postcards to the United States.
The Saint Spyridon the New Church (Romanian: Sfântul Spiridon Nou) is a Romanian Orthodox church in Bucharest, originally built with gothic influences in 1860.
The entrance to the church.
The altar of the church.
Sending off the watercolored postcards that I created in Romania for my friends back in the United States.

 

Bucharest, Romania

Today we flew out to Bucharest, Romania. We missed our plane so we had to board another flight and were only behind schedule by about 2 hours.

The currency used here is the Romanian Leu. What I noticed was that it was printed on really pretty paper.
Walking through the streets of Bucharest.
Our little quaint hotel, the “Old City Bucharest NF Hotel” right in the heart of a city full of life.
The Rembrandt Hotel on the right, with the Grand Cafe Van Gogh adjacent.
One of the menu designs of the Van Gogh Cafe, of course you know we had to eat here!
The inside of the restaurant is so beautiful.
Van Gogh Cafe.
I ordered a raspberry daiquiri.
This town has tons of Dracula souvenirs and memorabilia.
Here I am with my cousins, walking around checking out the rest of Old Town Bucharest.
