A fabulously nerdy end to a wonderfull trip

What a weekend!!! One of the coolest I've ever experienced in my life....yeah, thats right. There is alot to write and a lot of details, so I will just give you the just of our final weekend in Romania.

Friday. GIRLS NIGHT OUT with Ioana ...and Zalau days.

-Live and weird entertainement on stage, involving vampires, karaoke and Romanian music, Hungarian pastries and tequila :P It was too much fun.


Saturday.

-Dressed up in togas and was IN a Roman themed parade to I guess advertise Roman days at Porolissum. People dressed up as soliders, girls were in togas.Had to dodge horse poop. Crazy and oh so Romanian.
-Rest of the day spent chilling with Eric, Mark and some museum friends.
-Cool Roman and barbarian reenactors from Hungary, they shot this small ballista thing and played around with scary pointy weapons. Guys dressed up in Roman legionnary armour. I love a man in uniform...swoooon.
-Concerts in the evening....Romanian boy band,a band that sounded like a romanian ''Doughtry', but that were named '' bere gratis'' which translates into 'free beer'...needless to say I was cheering for "free beer" all night haha...oh and there was some old guy band too.

Sunday. ROMAN DAYS AT POROLISSUM.

-Early in the morning Alexandru sent us down to be in a Romanian documentary. We had to do some "acting". Basically pretend to be archaeologists, conveniently positionned to be near the host, who I guess was moderately famous in Romania...I dunno, he wanted a photo with us..kind of weird. It was so crazy..but I can now say I am a Romanian movie star.
-Got toga-fied...spent the day in costume, watching various Roman themed events. Porolissum came to life. I can hardly express how cool it was.
-Evening. Watched Gladiator projected on a screen outside over looking the Romanian hills..then had a bonfire...the perfect end to a Romanian vacation

Monday: Was sooo sad to leave Romania....Eric gave us a ride to Budapest...crazy adventure at the border...more on that when I get home

Today: Relaxing, going to the baths and getting ready to leave this amazing part of the world

I will write a final entry when I get home,


See some of you tomorrow, the rest..see you soon

As always, much love from the land of Buda and Pest,


Val



So thats that, I will have
