Writing does miracles. I’m so happy to have some little means that can get me out of my trouble moments. Nice warm bath, gentle melodies and a few lines on a sheet of papaer, may they be on almost any subject at all.

I went road tripping today with my family. Since we have bought the car (July 2007) it’s the first road trip that I participate in. I always find excuses to skip family gatherings. Maybe this time it just was the perfect timing.

We left Bucharest somewhere around 7.30 am, arrived Targoviste around 10 am, made some photos, then head on to Campulung, but we managed to make a detour. Finally we arrived to Bran, where we spent some money on souvenirs and we ate something, nice warm barbecue and head on to Brasov.

The road was nice, the view spectacular, autumn does wonders with nature. Brasov it’s an occidental city, you almost don’t believe that people are speaking Romanian on the street. The traffic was moderate (well it was indeed Sunday), in Sfatului Plazza lots of people taking a walk, making photos, resting, talking. Agitated but still quiet and relaxing, like everybody was respecting everyone else’s privacy in a public space.

The road back was a bit difficult. Almost everybody was heading home, we made 160 km in more than  3 hours.

Romania is a beautiful country, with amazing sites, too bad we decide to ruin them instead of making them grow.
