We also took Andreas' parents to Popasul Dacilor, another traditional Moldovan restaurant. Lots of the same kinds of food, but presented a bit differently. Again, we ate a lot, from the free little cheese puffs through the veggie appetizer plates and on to the mamaligia and main courses. The whole time, we were serenaded by songbirds in cages around the terrace. Both Popasul and Roata Vremi have excellent service and excellent food. Roata Vremi has lower prices and a museum. Popasul Dacilor has a beautiful riverside view and songbirds.
I never knew that an unloaded jumbo jet could do a vertical stall as well as a tiny aerobatic plane until I saw this one do it on take off. It's the new 787, one prepped for Air India, and it did just that. Its take off was also more like a C 130's than a regular passenger plane's. Impressive.
It's a simple renzoku design with red, white and blue variegated pearl cotton. I think it came out pretty well, and now it's done!
Lunch at The Loft on a Wednesday in July. Andreas had his usual sandwich and camembert. I think he only goes for the camembert. I had mushroom soup and my poached egg salad. Andreas' parents split a salad and a soup.
Some nice low level flight shots in this set.
I have been trying to catch up so much with the air show that I've neglected posting other things besides stitching. These photos are of a meal we ate with my in laws at Roata Vremi while they were visiting in July. It was all excellent, from the house aligote wine to the fresh veggies to the meats and placinte. I love this place.
Air shows are now about the only place you can go just to watch planes take off and land. I remember as a little kid going to the local little airport and watching them with fascination. Now, only air shows offer that experience.
Boeing showed off one of its new 787's, and they were rolling it out while one of the corporate jets was taking off and doing its routing. Made a lot of good photo ops!
