While I'm tapping away on some articles, here are some images of Chisinau. The Moldovan capital was in beautiful early spring bloom earlier this week. The parks were packed with young people and families—some taking advantage of free wireless Internet access in parks—and vendors at the markets were hawking enormous supplies of fresh herbs and vegetables. Central Chisinau's streets are well-shaded and wide and the city is strikingly pleasant to wander.
