Takin' you back

Inspired by my friend, colleague and fellow Manele fan, Steve, I've decided to disregard any previous self-imposed obligation to keep this blog going in chronological order. Anything goes now. Sounds so rebellious. Anyway, Steve is an entertaining writer with a quick wit. He also has photos to share. So if you want to see what someone else's life is like here in Romania, check out the "One Man Invasion" at:

Steve's also known to comment on various topics ranging from politics to 76ers basketball and he posts some very interesting videos and links now and then. Check it out.

I promise I'm getting nothing out of this from him. However, he is the commissioner of the the PC Romania Fantasy Football Fiesta, so a little sucking up never hurts.

Anyway, we'll being with a mountain theme, as I was on plenty of them during the month of September. Here are some photos of our trip to the summit of Mt. Postavarul in Poiana Brasov. Delia was our fearless leader and guide. She's a good one.


Victor, Ica, Me and Gene atop Mt. Postavarul, Poiana Brasov - 1804 meters



1804 meters? Confirmed. Thats 5919 feet for you folks back home. And just down the road a bit from Codlea. Or should I say up?



A view of Mt. Postavarul from my street taken last winter.



The whole crew, pre-summit.



And on the way back down, dinner at Coliba Haiducilor. Translation: The Outlaws' Hut.



Outlaws eat (and drink) well in Romania. 10 year old tucia, Ursus Premium, Mamaliga and Tochitura Vanatoresc (Hunters' Stew)
