I was sitting here trying to digest my Romania trip and almost decided not to write about it at all under the old adage “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” The thing is Bucharest showered us with beauty. We were there at the height of the leaf change […]

It’s on our “to re-visit” list because there was so much more to see and do! Our flight arrived in the late afternoon into Vienna. Instead […]
