Dear Family and Friends,

On Tuesday, June 12, I leave for a one-month adventure to The Balkans.

I fly on Swissair non-stop to Zurich and then on to Bucharest, Romania. I hope to see my friend Corina who I met in Budapest last summer.

From Bucharest I will travel north by train to visit Brasov and the smaller cities of Sinaia, Sibiu and Sighişoara. Then by train again north to Cluj-Napoca. Then east to Suceava before returning to Bucharest.
