Bucharest Fotos

I haven't figured out how to put captions with pictures soooo - Below you find



My mother with one of the many tiny orthodox churches in Bucharest








Every city wants to be like Paris - the Arc de Triumph!







Ceacescu's Palace - 2nd largest in the world after the Pentagon. This sucked up most of Romania's wealth. As someone asked during our guided tour "how did he pay for this" another person piped up - "with his life"!



The view from the terrace of the Palace. In the back you can see the Ceacescu's attempt at creating a Civic Center - an area where government was centralized the citizen's lived next to it. He destroyed most of the old town (although some churches still are interspered between the ugle apartment buildings).
