Most of Jilava is under water. Making it impossible to see the oldest parts. 
Every where we went all the trees the are painted white on the bottom to keep the bugs off.
Jilava prison...one of the prisons that our movie takes place.

We got on a plane in Louisville, KY and flew for an hour. Then we got to Detroit, MI.  From there we left the safe soil of the U.S.A to head out over the ocean.  Five episodes of "Heroes" later (that's 7 hours in "normal human") we landed in Amsterdam, Holland. I was surprised to see how much was in English...was I really in another country?  I didn't actually see much "foreign country"...we had to rush to get into the line to board another plane.  Finally, we left there and headed to our final destination...ROMANIA!!!! Two hours later we arrived in Bucharest at 2:40 pm (romanian time)(7:40 am KY time) 18 hours of travel time...We were sooooo tired...and a good night sleep was much needed but not to be had.  We were scheduled to meet with the head of Castel Productions, the film company we might work with.  The tour of their studio was amazing!  7 huge warehouse type studio stages and a gigantic backlot.  I barely remember it but I know I was amazed to be in another country at an actual movie studio!  Pinch me!  We finally headed to dinner and then the hotel.  My one memory was watching Richie, looking like a zombie with glazed eyes, shoveling food into his mouth...I don't think he even tasted it, he was so tired.  And then I realized, I was doing the same thing!  A hotel bed never felt so good!
