Hotel Breakfast

We finally got up early enough to get breakfast at the hotel on the last day.  It was something that could have been happily skipped.  Everything was made fresh, but it was all - just off.  Like the cook didn't understand how to cook.  Very weird.

Iasi's Cultural Palace

 This building was built in the very early 20th century and has been undergoing renovation for several years.  It was supposed to be done year before last, but still has a long way to go - especially in the interior.  It's definitely worth saving.  Some of our friends were escorted up to the clock tower, but we declined because it was one of those things frowned on by the authorities.  I hope they finish it soon.  Currently, in the basement, they have banquet halls that are rented out for wedding receptions.  Those, it seems, are gorgeous.

More Arlekin

This time we didn't order pizza from Arlekin.  It was salad and soup and chicken.  Still very good, fresh food and much better than expected!

Banding Together

I am almost done with the second part!  I prefer working these actual bands rather than the other parts at the top.  They just appeal to me more.

Lost And Found

More random pictures of architecture while lost and we found a protest!  It was anti-smoking campaigners.  They even dressed up for it.

Joined Up

This is all joined up now and ready to get the border done.  Getting so much closer!  There's an inner border and some background to do and then it's done.

Arlekin Pizza

Hmmm.... a pretty good tasting very full meal for two under $15?  Yes, please.  That's what we got at Arlekin Pizza in Soroca.  It's evidently a fairly new place, and it has a kids' arcade area.  It's also packed, even midafternoon.  The food was very good, even if the salads were presented a little oddly.  The pizzas were full of (real) toppings and the crust wasn't too thin.  We couldn't finish them, but we also couldn't take them back to the hotel.  This restaurant was about a block from our hotel and we ended up eating there several times because of the lack of unbooked-by-weddings restaurants in the city.
