Halloween trip
Well....I'm presently in Bucharest, Romania working for the next few months. Haven't been able to get out much, due to working 6 days. But.....a bunch of us made the trip to Bran Castle, otherwise known as Dracula's Castle on Halloween. Made for a LONG, but interesting day. How many people can say they spent Halloween at Drac's place?
The castle
It was a little crowded, though
I didn't think you would be able to make out the printing on this, so I didn't bother to get the rest, but I think you get the drift.

Funny! VERRY FORKIN FUNNY!!!!! LOL That castle was built in 1377. Going thru it, I kept thinking "I wouldn't want the job of fishing all those wires thru the walls", when they finally electrified it, since they're all stone. We also went to a couple of monasteries, and other towns. The town of Bran is heavily commercialized, unfortunately. Went to Brasov, and Ploeisti, where the Allies unsuccessfully tried to bomb the Ploeisti oil fields. Left at 8AM, and got back at 9PM , but was very interesting. Had a very knowledgeable guide. I asked her what she did for a day job, and strangely enough, she works in a call center for AOL talking to people from the US on the 800 or 866 number. Said when you call the AOL help line you either talk to someone in Romania, or India.
