How I'm Spending My Time

What this page IS: a record of how I'm doing.  I want to show that I am busy and being responsible with my money.  I am not lounging by a pool and spending lavishly for several months.  This is a major life project and requires some "project management" to maximize experiences while minimizing costs and adhering to time constraints.

What this page IS NOT: a well-written blog with nice stories or thoroughly-researched travel guides.  There are lots of great blogs out there, and you should read those for inspiration and information.  I have a limited amount of time so I don't want to put a lot of effort into writing.

Note:  For safety reasons, I will only be updating this AFTER I leave a place.

Transfagarasan Highway

Leaving Bucharest, I rented a car and drove the Transfagarasan Highway.  I think it's only about 60 miles, but you must drive slow with the elevation change and the hairpin turns, and I stopped for pictures several times along the way.  I saw five bears. (I have been to the Smoky Mountains many times - no bears.  I spent last summer hiking and camping in Washington - no bears.  Then I saw FIVE in Romania!!!). The landscape is beautiful, and I saw herds of sheep with their shepherds, and I saw people using horse carts for actual transportation - not just for a fun hayride.  There are many road side stands selling things such as pastries, cheese, and homemade wine.  At the end of the road, I stayed at a guesthouse in a small village, where I really did see the cows come home at the end of the day.  Like the saying - around 8 pm, there was a parade of cows on the main street as they left the pasture to go home to the barns.
