The Zoo of Chisinau

Fun fact: Moldova is named after the Moldova River, which does not run through Moldova.




We took big Ern to the Zoo of Chișinău.





















Ernie really liked these mister things. He was a huge fan of them at those volleyball games by the Eiffel Tower as well.



























I think these characters are from the Soviet cartoon Well, Just You Wait!. They used to have them playing continuously at a Soviet themed bar in St. Louis called Propaganda that was one of my favorites.























Eating at Popasul Dacilor was fun. It was a giant cool building and had fun traditional decor and food.









































It's still unclear to me which came first: Moldova or Malldova.







One thing I do know is that these people were very excited about Fanta.































I'm not a big fan of the Soviet Union but I do think its architecture and art are fun to look at.



















We had to go to McDonald's for cultural reasons.







Ernesto going from tropical storm to full blown hurricane is not something anyone wants to see, believe me.





Zoe had never experienced the joy of kvass so I bought some for her to try. It's pretty much what happens when you throw your old bread in some water and let it ferment.
