I haven't shown you photos of Pizzeria Caruso's food in a little while and we added a meat plate this time, so I decided to. The plate had ham, salami and prosciutto on it and was as delicious as everything else from this restaurant. Andreas had his usual, and I had the same pizza but with added mushrooms! We are still going to this place weekly and will miss it when we leave next year.

Church And Cloth Hall
I think Andreas did really well with this photo of St. Mary's at night with no tripod. The photos below show, if you look really closely, a trumpeter calling the hour in the open window. And then the rest of the photos are of the Cloth Hall again with the statuary in front. There are some really odd parts of the base of that statue if you examine it.

Uzbek Goodness
While we were lodging our friend Nicole and her broken leg, she needed to go downtown to the candy store to get candy to take back to the States. We decided to do lunch downtown, too, at Caravan. We hadn't been there for a while, and the decor of little tents hadn't changed. All three of us ordered tea, and we were served tea and what I know as chruscki from my Polish American side and jam as sweetener. There were cherry and apricot jams, and both were excellent. We ended up going through two full pots of tea.
I had salad, a manty, and chuchvara soup. I love chuchvara! It's got a very good lamb broth with little tortellini type things filled with meat in it. The broth has a very rich texture to it.
Andreas and Nicole both had pilaf. The pilaf is fluffy and full of pine nuts, pomegranate, raisins, meat, and other good things.

Getting Some Greek On
El Greco is our go to Greek restaurant in Chisinau. We order from them regularly and they deliver to the embassy! On this night in May, we went to the restaurant to eat. Andreas had his usual salad, pita, and tzatziki thing. I had soup. We split a chicken gyro plate. The food was as tasty as usual, with the tzatziki having little bits of cucumber and the chicken being moist and herbed well.
