Thurs., 23 Aug: Iasi – cont’d
Actually, this visit, as have all of our archival visits to date, was amazing. We arrived at the archives very late – about 90 minutes after the 10-11 AM window was closed. We were shown into the lobby and asked … Continue reading

Thurs., 23 Aug.: Kishinev to Iasi
A day I dreaded – crossing into Romania. My last venture into Romania was not a pleasant one, and even though, technically I wasn’t “in” Romania, since I never left the airport, memories of it filled me with dread. Decades … Continue reading

Today was to be a travel day. The best laid plans as they say. No, I don’t mean we didn’t travel, because we did. We even got to our destination, with no mishaps, well nothing major or damaging in any … Continue reading

We stayed at a pleasant hotel in Suwałki , The Loft. We arrived just ahead of the rain last night. One of the major challenges of a trip like this is balancing the time the travel itself takes with the … Continue reading

Wed., Aug 15 Vilnius to Suwalki
Today we took a longish drive – about 3.5 hours, and thanks to Marek’s careful maneuvering of the Euro-Style van, all went well. The border between Lithuania and Poland didn’t change in the week since we left – no formal … Continue reading
