We left Tallinn very early, flew to Amsterdam, changed planes and flew to Bucharest, Romania.  We were met by a driver and taken to the hotel.  My first impression is of a beautiful city with huge old houses that are now foreign embassies or private homes.  And the city is full of beautiful and big gardens.  Our hotel is nice and we walk to a restaurant and have sour soup, chicken and mushroom blitzes and grilled chicken wings with cucumber sauce.  Back to the hotel to await the group we will tour with.  (With whom we will tour).  We meet for dinner in the hotel at 7:30…we have a mother, her two daughters (one in high school one in college) and a friend of the girls…from Switzerland.  A man and wife from Holland.  Two sisters from Holland…one speaks a few words in English.  A woman from Australia traveling without her husband, a woman from Australia traveling without her boyfriend, a college professor (French History) from Boston and two men from Brazil I am presuming to be partners…they speak Portuguese.  We have our guide, Peter who speaks English and Romanian and a second guide, Michael, who speaks Romanian, English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.  This language situation sounds a little like the Towel of Babel.  Wonder how confusing this will be?  Guess we will find out.
