Romania & the Black Sea

Romania & the Black Sea |
  |
We took a "short cut" to the Black Sea in a canal built through Romania This was a very rural area populated by sheep and "fearless" goats |
Finally we reached the Black Sea |
Ocean going vessels were a common site |
 |
 |
Friends for 50 years |
Josef, our hotel manager, helped me practice my Slovak
language skills |
 |
 |
Our ship docked in the Black Sea port
of Constanta |
|
This
traditional sailing ship serves as a training facility for cadets |
National History & Archeological Museum |
 |
 |
The museum features a remarkable slab
of mosaic flooring and other artifacts of the Roman Era - MORE PHOTOS HERE |

As we toured Constanta, symbols of the
city's varied religious history were visible |
|
 |
 |
The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul |

Finally an opportunity to walk on the beach on the
shores of the Black Sea |
