No two sunsets are alike
If you look hard enough from the terrace in my building you can see the Statue of Liberty.(not visible in this photo) I'm always amazed by the assortment of colors each different sunset produces.

Yes! No two sunsets ARE alike! A simple truth, simply told! That would also be a great title for yr. autobio: NO TWO SUNSETS ARE ALIKE: THE MANUELA OPREA STORY (as told to Cynthia Carris)
just don't use MapQuest to get to Romania:
MAPQUEST TO HELL
Point of departure: My house
Destination: Your place
RESULTS:
1. Turn RIGHT onto MAIN ST - 0.5 miles
2. Turn LEFT onto ELM ST - 0.5 miles
3. ELM ST becomes SYCAMORE LANE - 0.5 miles
4. Do NOT actually TURN onto SYCAMORE LANE. Instead, VERY CAREFULLY *SKIRT* SYCAMORE LANE, VEERING DEFTLY LEFT-ISH, onto CYPRESS ST, which is also known as ROUTE 5, but only if you take UPPER CYPRESS ST, by the Exxon station on the corner, not LOWER CYPRESS ST, which runs through the shantytown beneath the TURNPIKE EXTENSION - 0.5 miles
5. Drive until you reach UTAH - 573 miles
6. Be on the lookout for NEVADA (Yes, it borders UTAH) - 75 kilometers
7. If you reach the PACIFIC OCEAN, you've gone too far - 3,000 football fields, as the crow flies
8. What's with the Wham cassettes? Geez, that's crappy road music -- and get a CD player or iPod, for Chrissake! (Still, what could we expect from someone who drives a Duster?) You missed the TURNOFF onto ROUTE 17, by the way.
- 203 pounds, that's YOUR weight -- you might wanna stop munching Cheetos.
9. REVERSE the last EIGHT DIRECTIONS
- 104 degrees, that's the temperature out here in the desert. What if the car breaks down and you're stranded? How long can you last? That gas gauge looks pretty low. You haven't seen a human being in HOURS. (Hey, remember that movie THE HITCHER ..?)
10. That's right, you're back where you started. Didn't see that coming, did you?
Total time of trip: Approx. 26 minutes (MapQuest real-world conversion: 37.5 years.)
(END)
I tried Google Maps, but still no luck. That pesky Atlantic Ocean
" We could not calculate driving directions between 770 broadway ny ny and Cluj-Napoca, Romania @46.779998,23.590000."
MO-PREA HUNGARY-ROMANIA TOURIST ITINERARY:
1. Church ruins
2. Church ruins (different ones)
3. Dracula's castle
4. Dracula's castle (different Dracula)
5. Castle ruins (across the street from Church ruins)
6. Monkey-infested Aztec temple (oops, wrong trip)
7. Gulag (recently converted to Target store)
8. Orphanage (pleased to report they just got TiVo)
9. Ancestral birthplace (now the first Hardee's in Romania!)
10. Transylvania Memorial Hospital (but she's feeling better now)
