Brasov is a fascinating little city, more than you might expect given its size (it helps that it’s a university town, and also in a weird way it helps that it’s on trade routes and has been fought over for centuries).

Check out the Tales of Communism Museum in Brasov, which is all about daily life in the Gheorghiu-Dej/Ceaușescu era. It’s both hilarious and heartbreaking.

Interested in impressions of Transnistria if you make it that far.

I doubt I'll make it that far north. Not sure I want to be in a disputed territory with Russian ties on the Ukrainian border either.

Makes sense. "Sixty Something Solo" is a brand.

Transnistria may not be the perfect fit. Then again, Canada is disputed territory.

Look forward to the Romania stuff.

Gorgeous snaps, Peter! If you swing through Italy and need some quick tips, let me know!
