Welcome!

     Romania...the word alone can stir visions of medieval castles, gypsies and quaint historic villages. The essence of Romania is best described as natural and cultural. This country is steeped in magnificence, ranging from the arts, the history to the natural wondrous beauty found all over the country.      The Romanian people have a spectacular imagination and a deep sense of spirituality that is found in everything they do, the artwork, the architecture of the buildings, festivals, music, food and crafts. Romania is a very colorful country that takes pride in their people and their heritage. The peasant culture is still prevalent here, and they still hold close the medieval ways no longer found in the modern world.
     There is much to explore and see in Romania, from the painted monasteries in Bucovina, to the Transylvanian medieval towns that are still intact, to the capitol city of Bucharest.
     The grandeur of the Carpathian Mountains are a wondrous sight to behold, with their rolling hills and breathtaking snowcapped mountain peaks. Nestled within those mountains are enchanting castles, rural villages, and historic churches, where time has a tendency to move at a surreal pace.
     So take your time while wandering this blog, reading more about this majestic country.
