Bebe took Alina and I to the train station in the city of Floresti, Prahova (county), about 30 minutes East from Alinas parents in Moreni. Something you should know about trains in Romania is there are 3 classes of trains: 1) Intercity, 2) Accelerat, and 3) Personal. The first is the most expensive with more speed and luxury and less stops. The Accelerat is an average cost with decent speed and comfortable seating. The personal is slow and dirty. It stops at every stop and is 1/3 the cost of the intercity. We rode the Accelerat train 3 hours North to a small city called, Codlea, where Alina's 2 aunts live.
We rode a taxi to Alina's aunt, Coca, and enjoyed lunch with her and her husband, Gheorghe. We ate sarmle, ciorba, Hungarian Paine, and rhubarb pie. After lunch and looking at the house and garden, we drove the taxi to Alina's other aunt's apartment, where we would stay. Her aunt of out of town, so it worked out perfectly. We settled in and then went grocery shopping. Alina washed our clothes in the bathtub, while I prepared out lunch for our adventure tomorrow!
