Cheeseheads, Movie Stars, and Diamonds




























The Wisconsin invasion of Bucharest has begun. My family arrived from the U.S. a few days ago and that's given us the opportunity to go from lonely expats to expert tour guides here in our adopted city. The first night started off with a bang: we made reservations for my sister's 30th birthday and Mother's Day at French Bakery, a groovy little neighborhood spot. Josh Hartnett and Ryan Gosling and their Hollywood entourage had a huge table there, but that didn't much interest us (though it is a little surreal to be surrounded by American actors in the middle of Eastern Europe) since before we'd even hit the first appetizers, Heidi's boyfriend Kyle had dropped to his knees and proposed to Heidi. Yes, she said "yes," giving us plenty to celebrate in the coming months. Horray!

After roaming about here in the city for some time, we'll head off for a weekend in Transylvania, which you'll read about soon enough if you tune in here again.
