went to dracula's castle yesterday, a diff castle more ornate, and then the romanian inpenatrable fortress. everything was covered in snow. it was gorgeous. then we got in a horse drawn carriage somewhere in the carpathian mountains in brasov romania/transylvania and the snow was coming down hard. the carriage took us about a mile or two down the road. we arrived at this huge family run romanian resturaunt. we hopped out the carriage(basically a bench attached to a horse, no roof)and went up the stairs, full welcome commitee waiting for us w/ a shot of homeade romanian whiskey called palinka. then went inside and had an insane traditional romanian feast. super cheap, it was great. now we are in bucharest, we missed our train due to other train being 2 hours late. so we are here for the nite and then off tomorrow to istanbul. i'm a little nervous just cus it's not europe anymore. just liek the first time u did acid or road a roller coaster. but it's always fun. this is like gypsy mecca here in romania, nothing like i imagined. in my mind i'm thinking johnny depp in chocolat all romantic and whatevs. they are crazy disabled poor as fuck beggers who won't leave u alone, for hours. it's gnar. ok, i'm gonna either go out or go to sleep. it's snowing out.
