Merry Christmas
Writing this from the small internet cafe at the Otopeni Airport in Bucharest. We've had some 15 cm of snow last night - enough to disable almost all traffic and dress Bucharest in a nice, Christmas-y coat of white. Our driver showed up by foot - he had to leave the car on the main road since Strada Bruxelles wasn't cleared and there was no getting through. We shlepped our bags and kids to the intersection and off we went. Slowly.
We reached the airport without major problems and so far, our flight to Frankfurt is announced as "on time" -- but remember that we are in Romania where being late is fashionable, and the plane was supposed to leave, like, now. So this is another experience in patience. Or something.
Anyway. We just wanted to wish you all Merry Christmas, since it's unlikely that we'll be able to post later today. Wherever you are, enjoy those days and let's hope they are peaceful and restful (the latter being a wish especially for all those parents out there).
Happy Holidays!!
