Eastern Europe Set 2


When Romania had a king, this was his palace




Trev, Shan and Lallie in front of the King's Palace




Grandma in front of the same palace


The front of Dracula's castle



More of the front of Dracula's castle


And still a bit more of the front of the castle


Here was are at the entrance to Dracula's castle


Shan, Lallie and Trev are entering Dracula's castle


Why don't you come on in with me?


The castle is filled with many hidden stairways


Alicia found some of the hidden stairways challenging


I found the hidden stairways very dark


And very eeeeerie!!!


Here is a look down into the courtyard of Dracula's castle


Grams doesn't look too scared wandering down there all
by herself


Mom and the girls made it to the top of the castle


The view from the top is pretty spectacular


Another view from the top of Dracula's castle


Course, all that climbing tends to get kind of tiresome


We did, of course, take the opportunity to attend Church


The young adults (and Sister Cocha, the pretty 81-year-old
young lady between Elder Eyre and Grams) had a little going
away party for Elder Eyre on Sunday evening


Elder Eyre was a little bit sad about having to leave Romania
(in case you can't tell, that's Trev's sad face)


A little roadside example of the modern gypsy transportation


Cows walking down the streets of the village - -
hmmm, reminds me of Minersville when I was a kid
