Monday, June 12

Monday we had class until 3:30 p.m. as usual, after which I visited the Botanical Gardens. The gardens were small but very nice. They included many little paths and sets of stone steps leading off into the woods and then opening into little clearings with benches, flowers, etc. It was a very nice place to take a stroll.

A few photos from the botanical gardens:




After the gardens, I returned to the hotel, to go out with the group to celebrate Andrada’s last night in town. Andrada is one of the Romanian students who showed us around and helped us while we were in Cluj. She is going to be working in Las Vegas for the summer and visiting MSU in the fall before she returns to Romania. We went to a bar called Insomnia first. It was a near place, but our table was entirely too crowded and loud. I was having a bit of a miserable time, so I was very glad when we left to go to Jay’s. Jay’s is an underground bar with a very fun atmosphere. It looks like it is in an old cellar or a tunnel, and they play a mix of American and Romanian music. We danced on the benches and table until about 2 a.m. It was a great time, and a nice send off for Andrada. Unfortunately we had to get up for class the next day, which was not so much fun.
