sinaia must mean “too good to be true”

Drove just an hour and half north of Bucharest the other day to the dreamy little town of Sinaia. We caught the town between snow storms, on a day in the middle of this crazy cold when the tempurature was about 15F degrees. Sinaia has everything you could ever want in a town though, starting with a gingerbread-house of a monastery that dates from the 1600s.

King Carol liked the extra-blue sky here too, he built a castle during Downtown Abbey times.

Of course we need dogs in the story.

Sinaia is also a bear zone.

And a mom and baby zone.

And Sinaia has a ski lift that comes right down to the main street, that's what every fairy tale town needs in my book.
