Greetings from Sinaia, Romania

For the past several days we have been staying in the beautiful mountain resort town of Sinaia. The area is reminiscent of Bavaria--with craggy mountain peaks and castles, and wooden houses with flower boxes.  
 Our choir has been practicing a lot and we sound FANTASTIC!  Tomorrow we will leave here and travel into Transylvania, where we will have our first concert in a village at a Unitarian church tomorrow evening.

We've also done some day trips to see a couple of castles.  The castle we saw yesterday was built by King Carol, who came here to rule from Germany.  Today we saw "Dracula's castle", the one that inspired the Dracula novel--and had a fun tour there.   We've had warm, sunny weather--but today turned cool and rainy.  The gloomy weather was actually perfect for visiting Dracula's castle.
