Chisinau Hramul si La Revedere

 

Well the final stop on our All Modova Week, was the capital city Chisinau.  You can see a picture of the Hotel Cosmos where we spent our nights.  It's the tall white building in picture two.  The timing couldn't be more perfect for being in Chisinau.  It was it's Hramul Day.  That's the specific holiday for the city itself.  Ad Multi Ani Chisinau!  The whole boulevard of Stefan cel Mare was closed off to traffic and it was one giant street fair.  There were dancers and singers and vendors.  Phyllis was admiring some of the intricate crochet work.  And then the word carver gave her a big Moldovan welcome.  Some other sites that were close to our hotel was the new shopping mall Atrium.  It's the giant white building with wings.  Inside the mall was this modernistic purple ear canal.  Just down the street was a second hand market.  The official one is called the Locomotive Second Hand Market.  But just before it is something known as the Russian Piata (market) where individuals just lay out what they have to offer like a flea market.  Well our final dinner was at a very nice place called the Café Jiraffe.  It featured itself as a "fusion restaurant".   Well that's about the wrap up of the All Moldova Week.  It was very nice to share my Moldovan experience with family.  I bid them La Revedere.
