Sightseeing

There is a lot to see in Bucharest. We don't understand much of what we are seeing, but we enjoy it anyway. We walked through Cismigiu Park where then-Elder Nelson dedicated Romania for the preaching of the gospel.


The number of pergolas covered in wisteria was shocking. I am definitely returning here in the summer when they are all in bloom.




Within walking distance is this memorial for those who died to break the bonds of communism. The Memorial of Rebirth is supposed to be a metal crown, but most people call it a "potato on a stick." The names of the individuals who died during the uprising are posted nearby.


I can understand why they named this bar Thor's Hammer because who wants to say, "Meet you at Mjölnir."


Located in front of the National Theater on University Square in Bucharest, Caragiliana, also known as the Clown Cart, is a sculpture by Ioan Bolborea featuring sixteen bronze figures by the Romanian playwright Ion Luca Caragiale.


We walked over the train tracks to find an old church nearby. It only took us 3 days and 3 separate trips to finally find it.





There is still so much to see!

Returning "Home"

 After a call from Sally asking for our help, we decided to return home a few months early. It has been hard to put together all the project...
