Maramures, Romania 2012
Although the trees in Bucharest were beginning to bud, snow was still falling in Maramures. A bright sun broke through the clouds and cleared the roads, melting the snow, before the crews could get to it. My guide and I sped over the empty, curving roads to Brasov. It was Palm Sunday and Romanians had gone to Grandma’s house to enjoy the day with family.
Daniel Gheorghita is an excellent guide to Romania and nearby countries. www.covinnus.com
