Tomorrow, early, I shall leave Cluj via Calea Turzii, and head for Oașa Monastery, about three hours to the south. My goal there is to attend the Sunday service, a beautiful ceremony that I missed on my visit there two years ago, with then-students Valer and Simo. I hope to get a chance to talk once again with Father Sava.
I plan to continue south in the afternoon to Pitești, just an hour or so from Bucharest. There I have booked a room for the night, making the drive into Bucharest one I can do after a good night's sleep. I will check into the Hotel Casa Victor, where I am sure that Dl. Mihai Ioncea and his staff will give me a good welcome.
In Bucharest I have only three objectives:
Not in a hurry! Just cruisin'!

In Bucharest I have only three objectives:
- to buy a supply of U.S.-Romania friendship pins, which were available at the Parliament (People's House) back in 2008. I gave mine to my dear Romanian-American colleague Professor Roxana Wright at this year's commencement;
- to visit my friends at the Fulbright Commission of Romania, and
- to meet my former student Alina Sime's husband and baby David, and to have some good food with them Tuesday night.
