Zilele Brailei

"Zilele Brailei" means "the days of Braila"... or better interpreted, Braila Days. This was last weekend and Cynthia joined us for the fun, food, and .... heat. We went on the Faleza (kinda like a board walk, without the wood...) along the Danube and looked at all the vendors with their various trinkets and things. We didn't end up buying anything. We've got to save up for Christmas. Big travel plans in the works.... Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, Monte Negro, and Serbia to be exact.

Here were some pictures we took during the days of Braila.

Behind us are the seats in preparation for a concert. Behind the "photographer" is a stage for live performances. Behind us also is the rows of foundains which lead up to the world-renown fountain of Braila. More pictures on that later...

So Braila is working on a project called "Rebranding Braila" and Nils and I had the opportunity to sit in on some of the meetings. There are very smart and knowledgeable people in Braila. Several great ideas came out of the meeting, from the youth and from the more experienced members, from leaders and from the citizens. It was an experience that got me very excited to be involved in any small projects that may occur in the future that would improve Braila for the benefit of its citizens and its economy. It's exciting to see people take an interest in their community and their future! Great job Braila!!
