Cracks….

            This is Bucharest. We were shocked to see many once-grand homes like this one in certain parts of the city. It was finally explained to us by a guide that a horrific earthquake shook the city in 1977. Over 1400 people were killed here, and thousands injured. Sadly, many of the buildings and churches were either torn down or never replaced. Look carefully, and you can see trees growing in what was once a beautiful home.
