 | | | |  | Friday, July 1 |  | Salami Time! |  |

|  | We pretty much lead a simple, peaceful life here in Romania, eating in most nights, hanging out on the back porch, cool mountain breezes....except when the salami comes out, then the dogs go wild. |  |

|  | mmmm... |  |

|  | Sedra does the downward dog and then it's time to play... |  |

|  |

|  | Doesn't Pero have a nice smile! Awe, it looks like we'll be leaving Romania at the end of July. We're really going to miss him. Anyone interested in a supersweet, supersmart black and white dog, let me know. |  | Monday, June 13 |  | Green Acres |  |

|  | Ah, country living. One of our favorite things to do here in Romania is to take a long, meandering drive out in the country on the weekends. Life there is pretty much untouched and farm fresh! |  |

|  | The Apuseni Mountains in back, part of the Carpathians. |  |

|  | Traffic... |  |

|  | By the way, Pero, our adopted stray, got a brand new house! |  |

|  | But he still prefers the weeds...Sedra doesn't get it. |  | Monday, May 23 |  | Prague Eternal |  |

|  | Prague is the most enchanted place on earth. Either I was born here in a past life or the city is imbued with a kind of spiritual undercurrent that bewitches all who set foot on her cobblestone streets. There are very few places that can make your heart ache with beauty. Mozart felt he was understood only in Prague. Even the Dalai Lama sensed Prague's unique reverberations. Visiting the city a few years ago, he paused in the middle of the famous Charles Bridge and remarked "This is the center of the universe." See all of Prague here. |
