Chisinau Pics

I leave Chisinau on Friday to return to Moscow. I've had a good trip overall, rested and explored the city. The sun was finally out yesterday and today, so I wandered around the city and took some pictures.

A beautiful scuplture of a Russian general and a horrendous, dehumanizing new apartment building.
