Valentine Who? Valentine What?

O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou…Marya?

In Romania, you would have never known it was Valentine’s day. There’s no hype. You don’t see commercials on TV or stuffed animals and candy in the supermarkets. It’s kind of nice that it’s not thrown into your face every ten seconds. What you will see however, are reserved tables in restaurants. Marya and I went to one of new favorite places for dinner, Café Milano, and we were so confused by the live music and reserved tables. We had totally forgotten it was V-day. When we were each presented with a long stem red rose from the maitre de, we succumbed to the fact that we were to be each others dates for the evening. We had a little too much camera fun when we got home that night as you can see. It took us a long time to get that pose and camera angle down. Look how good this one would have been:


If only Marya were fully in it and there wasn't that weird fuzziness

But…this is what we looked like most of the time:



Yes, we’re dorks.
