A couple of weeks ago we went to Barza Alba in Balti. Barza Alba (White Stork) is a state run brandy factory. The day was very pretty and we got a tour and tasting. These photos are of the front of the factory and the area in its courtyard. It's very soviet, but it also has some beautiful iron work.

Odessa In Winter
At the end of January our travel ban to Ukraine was lifted. We went to Odessa to celebrate. All these photos were taken on a chilly and windy February day. No snow, though, and it was still warmer than Chisinau.
The flowers below Richelieu are a tribute to the fallen in the war. They've moved the memorial now, but I think it was fitting to have it there.

Fortress Soroca
I think it's good that the people of Soroca honor their war dead from the Transnistrian conflict after independence. They have made a little park on the main drag near the fortress. These photos are from just over a year ago. The fortress is now open and has none of the construction debris around it.
