Union Cemetery
While in Steubenville, Ohio for the Dean Martin Festival, we drove around the city and came upon Union Cemetery – Beatty Park. This cemetery is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and boasts more than 100 species of trees and flowering plants. Filled with many historic headstones and well detailed mausoleums. The area is full of wildlife such as deer (we saw 5) and wild turkeys (saw 1). Be adventurous and find the dog marker.
Black Sea
The Black Sea in Constanta, Romania. A sea gull and a ship on the horizon. The weekend we had was beautiful weather and surrounded by Emilia’s family who welcomed me with open arms. Can’t wait to come back here and spend more time.
Beauty in Bucharest
While Bucharest, Romania may not be the most beautiful city in Europe, it does have beauty, if you choose to look for it. This scene is inside the Village Museum. A display of actual dwellings and farms from around Romania. From churches to homes, ferris wheels to windmills, a very accurate history of this country.
Castelul Peleş
Peleş is a romantic castle in Sinaia, Romania, built between 1873 and 1883, and is considered by some to be the most beautiful in Europe and in the world. In 2006, the Romanian government announced that the castle will be returned to King Michael.
Located northwest of the town of Sinaia, 60 km from Braşov and 135 km away from Bucharest, Romania’s capital.
Lost in translation
Sometimes, English words just do not translate well. This woman was seen in a sunglass store, in Constanta, Romania, wearing a pair of pants with the words “Major Explosive” on her rear end. I could be wrong, maybe she enjoys bean burritos and is kind enough to warn people walking behind her. Or maybe she skipped her English class one day.
