A Study in Contrasts


I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel for pics to post...I think I need to take some new ones. I had to go back 6 weeks or so to find these.

The first, a sports car we spotted while driving back into the city from Ikea. I'm not even going to venture a guess as to the make of the car...I'm sure I'll get it wrong and then you'll all have to correct me. It's better that I just say "sports car" :) The second, taken earlier the same day as I came up out of the metro. That's one of the many contrasts in Romania...the flaunting of wealth alongside the desperation of poverty.

If you don't hear from me the next few days, I promise I'll be back soon and I'll even post "make-up" posts for the days I'll miss. We're off to Chisinau, Moldova early tomorrow morning for a teacher training session. Back to Romania on Monday, so I'll be back then!
