Our European adventure has begun. We arrived into Bucharest, Romania yesterday afternoon and had a chance to check out a few things in the city. We had a great first meal at a well known spot and as their sign says "probably the best place in town" - Caru cu Bere. It has been in operation since 1874. We had a few traditional meals, a few beers, and even tried the local liquor - tuica. Tuica is a plum flavored liqueur and it will warm you up. A few weeks ago Romania got a bunch of snow, so the country is still trying to dig it's way out. There was snow and melting snow everywhere. We saw several cars that were buried in snow. We traveled to the city of Ploiesti where we will start work tomorrow at the Michelin plant. We are looking forward to learning more about the city and Romanian culture.
