the trip to Buzias

Yesterday, two brave girlz of @TM went to investigate a location for RTS 2006...all the way to Buzias :) - those would be myself and Mada.
We had a very challenging start, since I beleved we could get to the train station in less than 15 minutes - which is true only if you go by tram, or if you're Superman/Wonderwoman.
So we arrived safely to the train station in Buzias...which is somewhere, in the middle of nowhere, and we had to walk 2 km to get to our dream location(s). So we visited most of the city on our way, lucky for us, accompanied by a "guide"- a dog that followed us untill Mada tried to show him some "Madaffection".
After we talked to nice ladies at the hotels, we went walking in the parc and had some wonderfull mineral water from the springs there (lovely pic on your right - yes, that is the spring, and no, that is not a real tree)
Then we went to the Diwal Villa, where apparently some of you had their LMS last year.
There was a band there, called "Prietenii Tai" that was singing live, while me and Mada shared a some french fries and grilled cheese. Naturaly, being our charming selves, we made friends with the band too ;)
On the way back, we decided to hitch-hicke (let me tell you, if you ever fell like doing that, take Mada with you- and your sure to get the ride of your life!). Last time, a BMW picked us up...now, we got on an ambulance!
It was a very intersting ride, the driver was kind enough to share some of his life experience with us, and also give us some very healthy advise on how to choose and keep your man (ladies, if you want to find out more, feel free to aproach me or Mada).
All in all, it was a wonderful day! I don't know what it was ...the peace and quiet of an afternoon in a small town, the kindness of the people we met, the beautifull songs played by the band in the restaurant or maybe the old look of the "colonade" in the parc, that made us think about times long gone...but at the end of the day, as we were on our way home, both me and Mada had a wide smile on our faces.
Yes, @ is about a lot of work and responsabilities, but it is also about times like this Friday afternoon, times which will turn into memories that will light up your whole lives...!

Bessitos, @Timisoara!
