Trip to Bucharest!






So yesterday we took our first trip out of Ploiesti to Bucharest and to watch our first European soccer match, the Bucharest Rapid vs. UTA. Rapid won 4-0 and it was awesome. We also walked around the city a little bit and saw the Palace of Parliament, the second biggest building in the world (after the Pentagon). Bucharest is a very nice city, the Paris of the East as they call it, and the cherry trees there are starting to blossom. In a few weeks it will be beautiful with the fountains flowing and everything. Guess we will have to go back! Anyway, here are some more recent pictures of what is going on with me here in Romania. The first picture is by the train station here in Ploiesti. Then there is us on a train back from Bucharest, a few volunteers in central Bucharest, the soccer match, and finally me in front of the Palace of Parliament with a Dacia (the national car company of Romania) behind me. Interesting stuff, huh?
