We jumped in the car in the morning and drove out of the city center to visit three more of the painted monasteries. They call them painted monasteries because they are decorated inside and out with detailed colorful frescos. Each monastery is uniquely beautiful, and as a collection, I have never seen anything like them anywhere in the world.
Back in the city of Suceava, we peeked inside a Romanian Orthodox church, the Biserica Sf. Gheorghe (St. George Church Mirauti) as a mass was being held. St. George and St. Michael are popular religious figures in Romania. Many towns and cities have churches named after one or the other. As we were there during the Feast of St. George, the churches dedicated to him were all very busy.
We ended the day with dinner at an Italian restaurant called Latino. For the second evening in a row, a friendly cat stayed near our table as we dined.
