Piata Eudoxio Hurmuzachi, Bucharest, Romania



















Piata Eudoxio Hurmuzachi (Piata Muncii), Bucuresti

Piata Muncii actually has two names...... the other one is the new name after a historian, Eudoxio Hurmuzachi. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eudoxiu_Hurmuzachi). Piata Muncii is the communist name "Worker's Square." Throughout the square are various signs saying either Piata Muncii or Pta. Eudoxio Hurmazachi. If you travel by bus 104 in one direction, (from Eroilor), the bus announces the stop as Pta. Hurmazachi. If you travel by bus 104 from the other direction (from Pta. Iancului), the bus announces the stop as Pta. Muncii.

The Porsche stroller




















The Porsche stroller, folded (to fit inside the trunk of our future Porsche).

Eventually someday we'll have a porsche. For now, we have to be happy with this one. But we think it's pretty cool for a stroller..... it even has two brakes (not sure why), convertible, air in the tires, and it can hold up to 100 pounds.

It's amazing the strollers on the market.... McClaren makes strollers. The first line of their website says "McClaren is about Racing." So, I'm sure somewhere there's a "McClaren Club" that has races on the weekends. We saw one in one of the stores the other week called "Mars Attack", and it really looks like you could make the assault on Mars with it. Jeep Wrangler makes a stroller, but it looks alittle more road than off-road. not sure exactly about the "all-terrain" strollers. Anyway, our Porsche is just fine for what we need. Maybe we can find a Porsche now to fit our stroller.
