I was just thinking about how jealous I was of the people that were spending their vacations outside the country borders. In the summer people were going to Egypt, Greece and Hawaii and in the winter they were going to ski in the Alps. Than, this summer I went to Bucharest, the great capital, to visit a friend of mine and the part of family I’ve not seen in ages. Spending my time there as a tourist I realized that I was so stupid for wanting to go visit other countries when I didn’t even see my own. Bucharest is a city of constant motion, day and night people running from place to place. I don’t think I could live there because of the stress that you can even smell in the air, but as a tourist, having time to check everything out I must say I was impressed. I’ve been to Bucharest before. Once as a child, and I don’t remember much of it, than almost a year now, but I was attending some software presentation of a partner company and did not have time to visit anything.

Than these thoughts came bothering my mind again while I was visiting Predeal, a fascinating place in the mountains. It is usually full of visitors in the winter, hope next year I’ll have the occasion to spend a few years in the snow there. Even though I was visiting it in full summer season, the place sticked itself into my head as a wonderful memory.

I should get myself a driver’s license and a car and next summer I should go visit the whole country. Who wants to join me? Than, first stop Egypt, the pyramids. That is one thing I want to see before I die.

Kiss you, Greyheart
