Left in the morning to Iasi (via Roman some 150km east), which is were dad is from. Iasi is the second largest city in Romania after Bucharest. We stayed at a hotel called T23, which is a rather bizarre name, yet with the exception of the bad bed springs (an unfortunate recurring theme in Romania), the hotel was quite good.
Today was Yom Kippur Eve and parents (while completely not religious) wanted to go to "Kol Nidrei" prayer. Since the thing takes about 5 minutes, Talmon and I didn't care. However, they were wrong about the time (not taking into account that we are not in Israel) and to make a long story (that involves a synagogue being renovated, going to another synagogue to early, prayer being late) short we arrived at the synagogue at 17:55 and stayed there for nearly 2 hours... At least the Rabi was amusing...
Before the synagogue saga we got to see where my dad was born and grew up until he was 11.
