When we were in Cleveland for a minute last year (which I will be writing more about soon), we spent some time perusing the stalls of the West Side Market on recommendation from friends.

I took this picture of the Sydney Opera House around sunset. Please look at it. Oh yeah, if you click on it, I think it gets bigger.
When we were in Brasov, we decided to grab a bottle of Romanian red wine and scale the local steep hill, Mt. Tampa. At the top I took a picture with my digital camera of the town below and as you might have guessed by now, this is that picture. Oh yeah, if you click …
