Yep, this weekend we went to Cavnic to ski. A bit early this season but it was very interesting and warm at noon. The snow measures 60-70 cm and the slopes are really good, no so many people had the courage to listen to the news and come to see if it's really true, so not crowded.
It's not an easy sport for your knees but you easily get used to the pressure in your legs. Hope the snow will last for long in these resorts and more snow will fall in the mountains soon.
The winter has arrived in the cities as well. We had temperature below 0. I think we must get used to the idea that lately we have only 2 seasons: WINTER and SUMMER. Pretty odd! for someone like me who grew up with beautiful springs and colourfull autumns.

Holidays, pictures...
...and today back to work.
Yep, lucky us! We've been on holiday for a week and we've been to the Danube Delta as we always wanted. A long term plan now finally accomplished.
I've posted the pics taken on our Transfagarasan trip and the pics taken on this trip. Visited: Mud Vulcanoes (Vulcanii Noroiosi), The Delta, Sain Ana Lake (Lacul Sf. Ana) and Tusnad resort Baile Tusnad).
Such a great country we have! I must admit I consider myself lucky to be born here.
Enjoy the pics!
PS: We must buy a new camera, the old one is starting to mess up the pics! :(

Strange Friday wedding
We have to go to a weeding party that is held Friday night!??? Imagine how fresh we will be! From work straight home, taking a shower and going to a weeding party. Probably we'll have a dozen coffes and hang on until 12 p.m.
It's starange I've never heard or been before to a Friday wedding party. But we have to go as thei are some relatives with my father and attended our wedding. So it'a a sort of "pay-back" time. Lol.
It will be a quiet sleepy Saturday in the Balla family!

I did it!
..Yep I've found the patience and time and mood to finally upload some photos from our trip to Valcea and Caciulata.
Unfortunaltelly my computer found troubles when uploading the pics taken from Transfagarasan - really a wonder of "modern" world. Too bad authorities don't forbbid bbq in the mountains area and they do not protect it properly. Fortunately Transfagarasan is an example of nature's selfishness when protectig itself. Transfagarasan can be crossed only during summer months from July to September and onlu during daytime and that is because of the heavy snow covering the road.
Personally, I would fine all the bbq people, which populate especially the Muntenia side of the mountain....Without being nasty, you expect those parts to be vandalised!
Here you have some pics from Caciulata a resort in the Olt Valley and from our trip to Valcea generally an area with lots of monasteries and history. Almost all the Romanian leaders from XII to XVII century are burried within the monasteries' walls. In Romania it was a tradition for the ruler to built at least one monastery which he financed during his reign and in the end found his resting peace and tomb there. So every place comes with a sotry...most of the times an interesting one...You just have to find the right person to tell...and they are many.

Frustrations
It happens sometimes, especially when I have uploaded all the pics with picasa and realize that, apparently I have two acounts with picasa and everything was uploaded on the wrong one. Of course all my enthusiasm was lost instantly and I didn't feel like uploading those pics (selected ones) again.
So when I'll have the time and nerves to do it I will. Until then it will probably be a Saturday at a frind's office helping her out with the papers and probably an evening out on a terrace and a Sunday out in the nature. We have a promise for a speed-boat trip on Tarnita lake...will see!

I jusl LOVE wkds
Starting Friday afternoon I feel like I am feeling alive again. I just love how productive I am on Fridays and my colleagues as well. I think that if there will be always Friday the efficiency at work will be 100%. People work better when they have a motivation like that...
And then weekends, especially when leaving to nowhere and finding interesting places/people are absolutely magnificent. We ghad a sort of "bank holiday" (how Bro and Chris seem to always have: - I am a bit jealous!)last wkd. Well we took our Friday off from work and visited our parents in their trip to Caciulata (Olt Valley). We've bathe in the sun and thermal water, we had trips to monasteries, memorial houses (Anton Pann) and cities (Rm. Valcea). Then we had a long walk to Turnu monastery, by night...hehehe interesting experience, especially we were with our parents.
And 3rd day we had a trip back to Cluj by Curtea de Arges (the monastery it's simply breathtaking) and then Poenari Fortress (built bu Vlad Tepes - and where to we had to climb 1480 steps through the woods) and then crossed the Fagaras Mountain at 2000 m high through Transfagarasan. I didn't know Romanina could do such masterpiece. Too bad it is not valuable enough today...for tourists as well as for authorities. Simply splendid!
We must go back and take a walk up the mountain.
We took lots of pictures, but our LCD at home has boken down...so until Monday no access at home.
See ya!

Ice Age 3
We've been to the cinema tonight and seen Ice Age 3 - 3D. Really nice! I think rarely you can find a trilogy that is still funny. We had a good laugh...although the 3D effects were not so spectacular.
A new funny character "Buck" appeared in the scene...and really freshened up the movie. From all of the characters I like Sid best...the crazy creature. I think is the funniest!
I wonder will it be an Ice Age 4 movie released soon???? I saw that Harry Potter continues on and on...is it at the 5th or 6th episode??? I am not very fond of it! I've seen only one episode and I found it casual.
Watched X-Men 3 pretty interesting if you don't expect anything philosophic from a movie. It's pure action trying to explain how it became X-Men 1! We enjoyed it!
