Our group began ou official tour in Plaza of the Revoluion (1989) and stopped again at the Palace of the Parliament which is the second largest building in the world after the Pentagon. We made our way out of Bucharest via the scenic Olt River Gorge stopping at the Cozia Monastery which was beautiful. Lunch was a quick bite at a stop along the river and we drove to the charming Saxon town of Sibiu. During our walking tour we saw the Great and Lesser squares in Old Town, the surrounding defense walls and towers and many merchant houses featuring the 'sleepy eye' dormers. We toured the Bruckenthal Museum which was the second museum to open in all of Europe. There was a car rally going on in the Great Square by the hotel and we enjoyed looking at all the cars.  We were on our own for dinner and Helen F and I enjoyed people watching while eating our meal followed by a delicious gelato.
