TEXTUL;
The Drăgans decided to travel to the Carpathian mountains. Radu, the Drăgans’ younger son, was excited to hear the news. No words could express his enthusiasm. This time, travelling by train was chosen so as to have the opportunity to admire the picturesque landscapes of the country. Some days prior to the journey, father booked return tickets for a tourist train. The family arrived at the railway station just before departure. People were in a hurry. Some fuss1 could
be observed there. Radu’s friend also came to see the travellers off. A porter helped the Drăgans carry the luggage into the compartment. Soon they all got on the train and occupied their comfortable seats. Radu chose the upper berth. The train started on time. The tourists were in their highest spirits. The train left Chişinău and headed towards Ungheni. The trip itself was exciting from the very beginning. Soon the tourists took pleasure in watching the orchards and vineyards stretching over the countryside hills. The family couldn’t help admiring the Cornești region hills covered with green grass and woods, easily distinguishing high oak, linden, elm and ash trees. Farther on, the sunflower and corn fields extending northward; the green plains and meadows, with cattle grazing, remained to the south-west. The journey wasn’t tiring at all. It took the travellers almost a whole day to reach Piatra Neamţ, a small town situated at the foot of the Carpathians. The beauty of this town and its surroundings can be compared to that of a pearl. Naturally, this beauty couldn’t but fascinate the travelling family.
