Helicopter Demo

This demo was a bit different.  It involved showing a mock insertion of troops.  Sooo.... load them on and off they go.  Landing tomorrow in photos.  Was pretty interesting to watch!

C'ing

I've started the C.  The castle's all done and looks kind of cute.  Time to start working on getting this done!

Songbirds At Popasul Dacilor

 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.

Never Knew....

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.

My Americana Temari

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!

Lofty Lunch

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.
