Greetings - and thanks for coming to check out the pictures from our trip to Romania. Scott and I travelled for ten days to Bucharest, Suceava, Sighisoara and Brasov (and several points in between). Then I headed off to meet up with my group from Ball State University for some good, old fashioned field study in Viscri. We also hit Hoteni up in the Northwest of the country, for comparison’s sake. More to come, for now, enjoy the show!
