Muriel Travels: January 2011
http://murieltravels.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 11, 2011. Our house had a shaft that allowed fresh air to come from the rooftop down to our bedroom (which was windowless). The big problem was that it also allowed in zillions of mosquitoes. Our room had white-washed walls, so each little beastie that I squished was very obvious, and no carcasses were more obvious that those that had already had a meal on us! We found we could close the tube up, so we did. While that did reduced the problem, it far from prevented their entry. The weathe...

Muriel Travels: Kalamata, Greece - should have been posted earlier!
http://murieltravels.blogspot.com/2011/03/kalamata-greece-should-have-been-posted.html
Friday, March 4, 2011. Kalamata, Greece - should have been posted earlier! We went into Kalamata for market day, which was on a Wednesday, but I have trouble believing it is only one day a week. This would be worth investigating further. It is a very good market. He currently has a mission to save the numerous ancient Greek theaters and is fundraising to do so.

Muriel Travels: December 2010
http://murieltravels.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 27, 2010. Nafplion to Sparta, Greece. Our car was small.very small. We were 5 adults. Somehow we shoe-horned all of us plus our gear into the car and started on our way across the Peloponnese, to our next rental in Stoupa, which is south of Kalamata. The trip on the freeway was interesting because of the trucker's strike. Sooooo many big trucks parked on the side of the road. Greece has many problems! Here are the prerequisites necessary to compete:. The athlete has competed in an event ...

Muriel Travels: February 2011
http://murieltravels.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 27, 2011. How Does One Use This Toilet? There is a door to it, under the seats. How does one get into it? Do you open the little door and park your butt while staring out at everyone? I was almost relieved when someone said it wasn't working. No need to figure it out! I have done a number of Google searches on the subject and cannot find out how one uses those toilets. I would appreciate some instructions! Can anyone offer any? Tuesday, February 22, 2011. The Midnight Train to Sofia.

Muriel Travels: March 2011
http://murieltravels.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 22, 2011. A Few Hours in Sighisoara. Our son suggested that we could take the train from Brashov to Sighisoara, visit Sigi for a couple of hours and catch the train to Sibiu. The city of Sighisoara is putting a lot of money into restoring buildings, improving infrastructure and building hotels. The town is looking good! I understand that the roof is of Hungarian design, which is the. Ethnicity of most people in Transyvania. He was actually born in Sighisoara,. I believe this is a gypsy cart.

Muriel Travels: Artisan Street in Veliko Tarnovo
http://murieltravels.blogspot.com/2011/03/artisan-street-in-veliko-tarnovo.html
Friday, March 18, 2011. Artisan Street in Veliko Tarnovo. The route between downtown and the Hostel Mostel took us by a street that veered off on an angle, off of the street we were travelling on. We would never have known what wonders awaited us there unless Tanya at the hostel hadn't told us. The first store to catch my attention had an amazing display of pottery in the window. I must admit that I am not a big pottery fan, but I fell head over heels for the work of this potter:. An amazing chess set!

Muriel Travels: Gurko St in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria
http://murieltravels.blogspot.com/2011/03/gurko-st-in-veliko-tarnovo-bulgaria.html
Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Gurko St in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria. Gurko Street is an beautiful old street of cobblestones, with restored house piled up on top of each other, looking out over the river. We walked it many times, taking picture after picture. To me, this is the heart of Veliko Tarnovo and the part of the town that has left me with the best memories. In a year or two, I expect that this building will be renovated:. I really regret not having explored up these steps:. A Few Hours in Sighisoara.

Muriel Travels: Some More Pics from Veliko Tarnovo
http://murieltravels.blogspot.com/2011/03/some-more-pics-from-veliko-tarnovo.html
Saturday, March 19, 2011. Some More Pics from Veliko Tarnovo. Any idea what this sign says? Bulgaria uses the cyrillic script, the same as Russia and the Ukraine. Luckily my husband had studied Ukrainian when he was young so he was able to decipher it. Can't remember what it says. The sign pointing to the left says Center. Can you figure out how to get to Romania? They love their historical figures and have numerous statues of them. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Few Hours in Sighisoara.
