King Mihai Park

 We decided to take a walk to King Mihai Park in the Primaveri sector of the city. It was a gorgeous day and the morning was perfect for a quiet visit. The park is 460 acres with a meandering lake in the middle. 


The Village Museum is nearby, but we will visit that on the weekend. This is the Charles de Gaulle entrance with these beautiful sculptures.


This man is Bulgarian Hristo Botev who was a poet and leader until he passed away in 1876 at the age of 28. The park is full of busts of famous individuals.


This little guy is Hooded Crow or a "hoodie" because of his coloring. This species is in central and eastern Europe.



Later we stopped by KFC and enjoyed some chicken. Paul likes to remind me about his connection to Pete Harman who struck a deal with Colonel Sanders to franchise the business. We have eaten KFC in Guayaquil, Hong Kong, Lago Agrio, Coca, and now Bucharest.
