Valentine's in Bucharest

Valentine's Day isn't a big holiday in Romania, but B and I decided to do a little something anyway. Luckily, flower stands are everywhere in this city and the flowers always look really beautiful. I have been hesitating to buy flowers here since we don't really have windows, so no natural light with which to feed them, but have always commented on how nice the flowers look, so B actually bought some very nice roses yesterday. The pictures of them (on the tablecloth I bought in Bran) are below:






Today in Bucharest it was beautiful, though chilly, and we decided to go back to a Mexican restaurant that we had tried in December and had a great meal! We also finally had a chance to explore the neighborhood in which the restaurant is located and found a couple of middle eastern markets, which were pretty interesting. It was a nice day for both of us and we enjoyed spending time relaxing and having some sun outside.

Tomorrow we plan to see the movie, "Milk" with some friends and then grab a bite to eat. I have really wanted to see this movie and am very surprised that it made it to Bucharest. I hope the movie will be good, but honestly pretty curious about how Bucharestites will react to a movie about an American gay rights activist, especially since Romanians are already normally chatty during movies! We'll let you know how it goes. -S
