Port Tomas, Constanta, Romania

Salut

So Sad about Robbin Williams. In 2005 we were in San Francisco for a family wedding. One night an old college buddy of my sister’s took us to a sushi restaurant. At one point I heard a voice behind me and I knew instantly who it was. Robin Williams had come in for his take out Sushi and beer. I had my camera and he graciously posed. He was shorter and better looking in person but so very willing to smile for me and my photo.

I have been having a heck of time doing these emails lately. It’s hard to find info to go with my photos. And today my outlook email won’t send so luckily we have a free wifi that Rick’s super antennae found so I can attempt to send this. We’ve met some lovely people here in Port Tomas which has a lovely old “Old Town.” We’ll be here about a week putting up the mast and getting things ship shape.

Hope these photos are worth 1,000 words because I really don’t have much else. I loved Vidin and I’m really liking Port Tomas. Ruse, even with its Lipnik connections was only Okay. Had there been a walking tour I’m sure I’d feel differently to have learned more. So it goes.

Ruse Architecture

The path from the road to the Ruse Yacht Club

The white building had a very basic toilet, a roomy but basic shower and a washing machine.

Usually Randal and I shower and do laundry on the boat, but there was a water problem so we couldn’t refil our half empty tank so we showered and did laundry in the Yacht Club building.

Our friends Ernst and Erika on our left and the boat Celestine on our right. We’d been in Novi Sad with both boats and with Celestine in Belgrade and again here in Ruse. Celestine had two Jack Russel type dogs you barked hello but that was about it. They weren’t yappy at all.

The main street of the city is Aleksandrovska, it is an architectural ensemble of buildings in Neo-Baroque, Neo-Rococo and other architectural styles.

Some of these photos are the town center and some further away on our way to Lipnik Boulevard.
