Mar 2008 - Galați

I spent six months in Galați. Not much of a tourist destination, but it's got one of the largest steel mills in eastern Europe, and a few Roman fortresses nearby. These are some pictures around the city.

An old synagoge	A sea of blocks. Most of Galaţi looks like this, with the steel mill ever present in the back	Galaţi from the middle of the Danube
