Beautiful City of Brasov

Started the day off good with free breakfast! Yay, I love free food! The nice reception lady gave us a map and pointed everything out. We decided just to explore today! It was a good choice too. Walking the streets of Brasov was good. I couldn't really believe I was there! It all felt like a dream. Everything was so pretty and colorful! The buildings are all different colors and sizes. The streets are so different from Iasi. Walking through the streets and exploring Brasov was great! The sights were beautiful. Mountains are surrounding Brasov! It's just plain beautiful! In the middle of the city there is a street just for walking and it has stores on both sides all the way down the street. Of course we shopped a bunch! I got some souvenirs. After that we tried to go to a museum but we realized we forgot to print our ID cards. We didn't go in because the price was way cheaper if you are a student. 7 lei for adult and 1.50 if you are a student! They give students great deals in Romania!

Piata Sfatului "The Council Square."The square had tons of birds on the ground. It was fun seeing kids running through them.

Biserica Neagra "The Black Church." The black church is off to the side of the square. We were going to go inside the Black church too but the price was a lot cheaper if you are student. We figured we would go back to the hostel and print our ID cards and come back later. We ran out of time here in Romania so we didn't end up going inside. We just saw it from the outside.

There were some kids playing a game outside the church.

Today in Romania is Women's Day. Katelyn had a genius idea to bring flowers to the 2 wonderful ladies at the hostel that have helped us, the one who cleans and the one receptionist. We bought flowers for them and brought them back to them. On our way back to the hostel we saw a group of random men walking down the street with flowers. They were handing out flowers to women on the street for Women's Day. It was the sweetest thing ever! People are so wonderful! These men didn't even know me or any of the ladies they were giving flowers to. It made my day getting a flower! How thoughtful of them. Here are some pictures of the men giving flowers.

Here is the flower I got!

The maid loved the flower. It made her so happy. She was just glowing! The other lady appreciated hers too! She gave us all a kiss and a hug.

Muntele Tampa "Tampa Mountain." This is the mountain that has the sign "Brasov." We decided to go up to the sign.

The walk to the Tampa cable car "Telecabina Tampa." It was a relaxing beautiful walk. Being in the mountains is so pretty! I love it. 

We took the cable car to the top and back.

The view from the top! It was beautiful.

Brasov's Defenisive Fortifications. The tower in this picture is a small shop owed by a sweet lady. Her store had such cool stuff! Most of it was handmade. She was selling a lot of stuff made out of rope and wood. She had the cutest rope owl. I wanted to get one so bad! The work she had was incredible. There was so much detain on all her stuff. She gave me a little person made out of rope for free after being some stuff from her. I wish I would of took a picture of her. She is standing outside the building but it is hard to see her.

After the mountain we made our way to the Old City of Brasov.

We tried to go inside the Prima Scoala Romaneasca "First Romanian School Museum." It closed before we got there. We just barely missed it.

Biserica Sfantul Nicolae "Saint Nicholas Church." This is an orthodox church.

On our adventure back to finding the center we passed by rope street! This street is one of the narrowest street in Europe! It is 1.32 meter wide. That is a little over 4 feet wide! It was so narrow.

Katelyn couldn't even lay down!

After rope street we found a mall too. We looked around inside for a bit. Later that night we went and had pizza!
