So yesterday was Thursday, and I had something to do on Thursday. I was going to go downtown and have a guided tour of an old neighborhood with the SSA. I hitched a ride with Greg and we parked at his office, nice and convenient. I had a 20 min walk to get to where I was meeting the group, and I was late... commence power walking with the stroller. I got to the designated spot and saw no one. So I sent out messages, called... Nothing back, I am upset at this point, how could no one at least answer a text! Then I looked at the information again and realized I was a whole week off! The walk is next week. AHHHHH
So now I am downtown Bucharest, with a sleeping child in a stroller. I decided to walk around and then meet the hubby for lunch. Best plan I had. What a wonderful and delightful city this is. We just wandered. B really enjoyed the city (hmm maybe she just enjoyed her nap). We walked a long time. I had to look like a tourist, I was looking everywhere. The buildings are fascinating, the mix of them. The old, the new, the renovated, well cares for, rundown, overgrown... The possibilities are endless. I was just sorry I didn't bring my camera. Next time because there will be a next time. There were little old men and women selling flowers and a few veg on the side of the street. I couldn't help it and I bought some, for nothing! They probably won't survive long, as it was a hot day and I didn't get them in water for a long time, but that doesn't matter. Its the magic of buying something for next to nothing, the romance of old time street vendors.
I am looking forward to next week, when I get to go on that tour and hear some of the history behind some of the big old houses I saw.
