Large gas fields here too. In Sebes we watched this local wedding. Another little book box in a park. Nearby is this eroded hill called Rapa Rosie. Then looking back west to Sebes. ...

We came to Sighisoara rather by accident. It us all cobbles and tour groups. Here is one of these umbrella streets which are now a thing. Same square but 8 hours later when sun is out and rain gone. Sheila has friends Sally and Jim who have an artisans factory making produce from local ingredients. Sally came and took us to their home us Saschiz where they have an old Saxon house. When the bought it it came furnished and full of the departed families possessions. This was after Romania became free of the USSR. The name of the business where today they were making elderflower cordial. Then she took us on a drive through the village and the meadows. Local woman. The landscape is odd. Lots of old terraces but also weird lumpy hills. Couldn't find out much about them. ...
