Romania
Carpathian Mountains country
Romania is a country in southeastern Europe, bordered by the Black Sea and sharing boundaries with Ukraine, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Moldova.
The region of Transylvania, now part of Romania, is associated with Dracula legends.
We spent two weeks traveling through Romania.
The Romanian language descends from Latin, a remnant of Roman occupation.
