We thought we would post a few things we see and do on the "strada" almost everyday. Here comes the tramvai. The fellow just pushing past me and my camera wants to make sure he is first in line for a seat.
His chances are looking good!
Well, maybe next time. The tramvai is so full you can't even see the people that are lucky enough to be seated!
Apparently wiring codes aren't what they ought to be!
The street sweepers are out almost every day - 95% of them are women.
Blossoming shrubs help to soften the concrete jungle.
Flowers are very important in Bucharest. There are flower shops like this one (which is just outside of our apartment) at almost every bus and metro stop in the city. You cannot walk down the street without seeing both men and women carrying cut flowers. Gladiolas and sun flowers are at their peak right now.
We've made friends with these two sweet ladies at the machelaria (butcher shop) down the street.
This is another sweetheart - she works at the Safe Way store just one block away. It is not the kind of Safeway store we are familiar with at home. It is more the size of a 7 Eleven.
Taxis wait right out in front of our building. It's just a matter of finding one that feels like taking you to the place you need to go.
Street vendors are selling this stuff everywhere right now. Apparently it is used to make tea.
A common sight - old women begging on the street. Less common is what I caught on camera - the lady in the white scarf giving the women in black some money.
On the way to Kaufland's (the big grocery store a block further down) you pass vendors selling all kinds of things.
Dill anyone? The lady with the green box has an assortment of cleaning products. You can see another flower shop behind her.
This lady was looking pretty glum until Randy handed her a Werther's candy.
