Transylvania- Dracula- Castles- yes, the real attraction of Romania.

We convinced the Canadian artist to travel with us for a couple of days, and caught a train to Brasov, in Transylvania.

Arriving in the evening, we decided we'd explore briefly, then grab dinner.

Walking around, we cam across a musical performance in an Orthodox Jewish Temple. Popping yarmulkes on (after a reminder), we sat in the back for the last song and a half. The variety of religious experiences on this trip is crazy.

Brasov is a tiny town, that is admittedly toursity (it has a Hollywood-style Brasov sign), but not in an annoying way.

Dinner was another Italian restaurant- this one rather delicious.

Afterwards we decided to head to a highly-recommended Scottish pub, and sampled some of the local strong drinks (56% alcohol in one case), before switching to beer. I grabbed a tea, since I lost my voice.

At the pub we ran into two Australians who we had met on the Parliament tour in Bucharest. We talked and drank for a few hours, then wandered back through the small cobbled streets to our hostel and hit the hay.

It was a day where I mostly took a break from photography
