hunting for dracula.....
July 15, 2008
The region of Transylvania was breathtaking and I wished I could have stayed longer. Brasov the major hub was a great town. It had that old world feeling and was tucked between the hills. The square was quaint and the food was great. While I was there, I hiked up the mountain to the Brasov sign, which is an exact replica of the Hollywood sign. It seems quiet bizarre to have such a sign in such an old world town, but it makes you chuckle. On the hike down, from the mountain, a huge thunderstorm moved in and the mountain was taken over by clouds and fog which cast a very eerie feeling as we treked down. It seemed approrpiate to be caught in a storm in the mountains of Transylvania, walking our way through the fog amongst trees that towered over us. We were drenched to the bone, but created a great memory. After two days we moved on to Bucharest and left the tranquility of Transylvania behind.
