I’ve returned from a trip to Romania where I spoke to the kids at the American International School in Bucharest. It was a great trip. However, it was also cold and wet and muddy, so I probably didn’t see it in its best light. Pretty miserable.
But, I did get to the country for a short trip, and that was fabulous. Saw a couple castles in the snow. It was magical. One was Peles Castle the other Castle Bran (yep, Dracula’s homestead).
