...the name of my favorite Romanian sweet. I am not even sure of when I developed the great passion for this cake, and I don't know why. It is incredibly sweet, so sweet that I cannot have more than one at the time, and it has a thick layer of GREEN cream! Yes, very green, completely unnatural green cream. Whatever the color or amount of sugar, it's delicious and addictive, and part of my routine every time I am in Romania.
...my destination for tonight. My train leaves Arad at 7 pm and reaches the capital almost 12 hours later. We will choo-choo our way east inside the Carpathians, pass Sibiu and Brasov, and then go South towards the Romanian Plain till we reach Bucharest. This route reminds me of summer camps by the Black Sea back in school; how great it was to escape home for 10 days and be "independent" at the beach!
It's such a pleasure to read your blog! My story is to some extent the same as yours, but I haven't decided to go back home... yet, but who knows? I've learned that life often reserves a surprise around the corner so I'll refrain from making any prediction. You remind me of the old times before I finished high school, when life was so much dreamier, of moments that I had somehow lost and that I rediscover with different eyes. I miss those times and I miss home..., and I envy you for the time you are spending there!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy and keep writing! (And don't give up on your prince charming!)
Thank you for the comment! I just saw it, am slow with these things...I am glad you are enjoying the reading. It's fun to write although sometimes not that easy. And yes, you can't make predictions...I could have not predicted spending this time in Arad...and here I am, enjoying it more than I could have expected:) See you soon!
