We will, we will Rock You...

The hand dandy Lonely Planet travel guide said, "Author's Pick" for eating is the 'Pizzeria'. It also said to sit facing the windows to avoid the color schemes used for decoration and gaze out over the rooftops of medieval lowertown. Good advice twice because I had the best lasagna of my life, accompanied by a fine bottle of Feteasca Neagra, watching the sun set on the distant mountains and the tile roofs below. These tile roofs are festooned with 'eye windows' apparently unique in the world. A fresh breeze blew in the window giving us a smoke free environment. (It seems everyone smokes incessantly in Romania.) The Pizzeria is in the city wall, with vaulted ceilings with frescoes and walls three feet thick. Reife's in Davenport may have enjoyed the colors but I didn't find them offensive. So there we were, good wind, good food, good time together when the Romanian music ended and what did we hear but, "We will, we will Rock You...."
