Try saying Sighisoara three times fast
Hi Everyone,
This update comes to you from Sighisoara, Romania. After a short two week visit through southern Spain, I was able to visit Mary in Toledo and then travel with her and a couple of her friends to Sevilla and then I traveled to Cadiz, Tarifa, Gibraltar, Nerja, Granada, and Madrid. This week, when I got to Madrid, I found a cheap flight and decided to that a two week trip was in order. I flew into Zurich and then on to Bucharest on Thursday.
I got here and it was a chilly 30 degree high. Having come from warm weather in southern Africa and the beaches of Spain, this is my first experience of winter this year. My shorts and sandals didn't really cut it, so I went out and got a proper winter coat. I spent a couple days walking around the city, visiting the Romanian Parliament building which is the second largest building in the world to the Pentagon. I also visited the national contemporary art museum.
The food has been rich, with very tasty meals at bargain prices. Hopefully I can put on a few of the pounds I lost while in southern Africa and from walking around so much. I've met nice travelers along the way and today met a mother daughter pair from Texas. All is well here. I should be heading to Brasov next and then should go skiing outside of Brasov.
This week I'll try to update photos on www.flickr.com/photos/bmcveigh and www.bmcveigh.org
Hope you are doing well.
Brendan

He told all of us that, in the comments section of the crocheted undies post.
Though I think he might have meant it in a different way than I did. :)
But yes, ambassador! That would be a good Brendan job.
