Brasov is full of German-named streets and German bakeries because this part of Romania, Transylvania, used to be part of the Astro-Hungarian empire. We had a chocolate croissant and a fruit turnover. Also, we are advertising Lonely Planet in this pic.
Our final Romanian meal: pizza and a latte.
One definitely awesome Romanian (/German) invention -- fresh-baked pretzels. They come on a string and have many possible toppings including poppies, sesame, sunflower seeds, sugar and salt.
Decorated eggs are an Eastern European tradition for Easter. These are enclosed in colorful crocheted casings (left and right) and painted (center).
A Dracula's castle, these inexplicable furry masks were for sale. I didn't ask how much.
