Mat and I got back a week ago from
our fantastic Eastern European adventure. We traveled to Budapest, Tirgu
Mures, Sighisoara, Brasov, Bran, Sinaia, Bucharest, Crete, Athens,
Manchester, and Leeds! All in 17 days. We're a little bit wiser, a
little bit tanner, and a little bit heavier. I'm pretty sure we had an
ice cream cone every day on our honeymoon!
Our
favorite country we visited was Romania. The landscape there is
luscious rolling green hills, the people are warm and inviting, and the
architecture is incredible. The food is awful though. Mat's highlight
was waking up super early in Sighisoara (Dracula's hometown) and roaming
through the citadel before anyone else was up yet. My highlight was
seeing the runaway bull charge down the center of the street in Sinaia
and chased after by a pack of wild dogs.
In
Budapest we met up with some friends and enjoyed some live bands. In
Bucharest we learned all about their communist past and their hopeful
future. We attended Mark and Kaki's wedding in Crete, and climbed the
Acropolis in Athens. Our time in England was spent catching up with
family and on our last day we visited Auntie Joyce. It was great seeing
her again and visiting her home where Mat first proposed.
As great as it is to get away and travel, it's always good to come back home and share memories with our family and friends. And of course, we missed Magellan, who seemed very pleased to welcome us back home.
