The Palace from Dan's car on the way to dinner. Dan is Telcordia's employee in Bucharest, and he was kind enough to escort us to dinner.
More Communist-era apartment buildings. Note the satellite dishes bolted to the front. Note also the ornate street light fixtures.
Colored water in the fountains down this boulevard. There was yellow also.
Note the tangle of telephone lines. Addendum: I am told that these are not telephone lines, which are buried, but cable television lines!
Interesting buildings. And, incidentally, tangles of telephone lines.
The state theater building.
Interesting statue. I don't know what it signifies.
The restaurant on a lake. The river through Bucharest has been dammed in several places to make a string of lakes. This is a tributary of the Danube.
At the back table, Steve, Dan (facing away), and Juan Carlos. Note the reflection of the lake in the window. I don't know who the people in the foreground are.
A sign in the men's restroom...
Sunset. Across the lake and in the distance is the building I took a picture of coming from the airport.
Dinner wasn't enough (for the others) so we stopped at a patisserie, sat on a patio on the street, and had dessert. This building was at the end of the block.
Here we (Juan Carlos, Steve, and me) are waiting for our order. Dan took the picture.
The items in the store window.
Going the other way down the street, we came to this church.
This is a bar (yes, with stained glass windows) that we stepped into on our way from the patisserie back to the car. This was 9:42 at night. The next morning Juan Carlos and I were on the 6 am shuttle to the airport. |
