Home Alone

For the first time in over a month, I'm home alone, and I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. Sleep would probably be a good place to start since I only slept about 2 hours last night (in 15 minute segments) before taking Sarah to the airport for her 6:20 flight home. But I think I have hit that point of exhaustion where I just can't fall asleep. So, I'll catch up a little bit here first.


Since my brain isn't functioning well (me without sleep is NOT a pretty picture!), this will pretty much be a travelogue. Enjoy your trip across Romania...


Our journey around Romania began with a quick trip to the Black Sea (just so that Sarah could say she had seen it...not recommending the Black Sea in March, in case you were wondering). It was beautiful but oh-so-cold!
The view from our room at the bed & breakfast on the beach (approx. $32/night!).
While in Constanta we also visited some of the ancient Roman ruins common in that part of the country. The wall Sarah is sitting on is part of the original city wall.

The cutest of the random gnomes outside our bed & breakfast; random statue in downtown Constanta (maybe not random...I just have no idea what it represents, and Romanians aren't always very good at labelling their statues).

Mamaia, the resort area where we stayed, is actually a strip of land between the Black Sea and a large lake. On Wednesday night, we watched the sunset over the lake. And then on Thursday morning, we woke up to this beautiful sunrise over the Black Sea.

Next stop: back to Bucharest.
