We visited three locations in Bucharest today with our guide and fellow travelers-The Village Museum in Herăstrău Park, The Orthodox Cathedral complex-the 17th century Patriarchal Church- and the Palace of Parliament, a brutish piece of Communist era architecture built by Ceausescu Romania's Dictator at the time. The building is gigantic; only the Pentagon is larger. After we completed the day's tour in Bucharest we made our way to the river port town of Giurgiu where we boarded the Viking Embla to begin our Danube River cruise. After a welcome cocktail with the crew and fellow travelers the six of us shared a great dinner and lots of laughs on board.

The Cantacuzino Palace

Designed in French academic style with conspicuous Art Nouveau features by Ion D. Berindei, Romanian architect trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, The Cantacuzino Palace was conceived after the model of Parisian nobility and contributed to Bucharest’s image as “The Little Paris”. The façade is distinguished by the spectacular shell-shaped glass awning above the entrance, a visual emblem of the city of Bucharest. The interiors were adorned with monumental paintings made by George Demetrescu Mirea, Nicolae Vermont and Costin Petrescu (professor at the School of Fine Arts and the royal court painter).The palace was built in the early years of the 20th century for one of the richest men of the time. In 1937 it became the residence of George Enescu who married Maruca Cantacuzino, the widow of the elder son of Grigore Cantacuzino .Enescu and his wife did not actually live in the main building of the palace, but in the small austere pavilion at the back of the garden, behind the palace.
