Romania Part Two: Transylvania

I've been so busy with all the ShyBoy updates that I totally neglected sharing the rest of my Romania pictures. Before you ask, I have no major ShyBoy updates at the moment either. The movie I was hoping for before I leave for New York isn't going to happen, so hopefully after I get back!

I'm leaving for New York tomorrow evening on a bus trip for 4 days (coming home sunday). I love New York, its such an amazing city with so much to see and do!

Anyway, without further ado, here is part 2 of my trip to Romania. We spent about 3 days in Transylvania seeing all the sites and learning about Romania's awsome history. I still have pictures of Peles Casle to post, but I took soooo many pictures from there becasue it was so beautiful that it deserves its own post.

  6. Beautiful photos. I remember one season of the Amazing Race where they visited Transylvania, and I thought it looked so cool. Seeing Dracula's fictional castle would be really neat!

    It seems like ShyBoy is taking the movie-watching to official date status, with him paying confidently and automatically suggesting more movies afterwards!

    Have a fabulous time in NYC!
