Accumulation of Photos

Okay, so the truth is I let time slip through my fingers this week and forgot all about posting. So forgive the excess and mixedness of the following:















Sunset out in the hills. We drove with our "new" car to one of the towns outside of Sighisoara and just climbed a random hill. It was beautiful.















The Sighisoara train station. This part is actually the nicest looking thing among a mess of a station. And this part is nonfunctional right now. =]



















The forest near the Breite. There's no shrubbery! (Shrubbery is probably one of my favorite words.)
















There is an explanation. This my friends, is me in a salt mine in Sovata. I was simply making sure that my money was well spent (like a true dutch girl) and that it was authentic. Indeed it was.















We spent the rest of the afternoon at a salt lake in Sovata! It was incredible. I laughed as I floated in the lake and recalled memories of swimming in the Mediterranean with some of my best friends. The difference here was that this salt lake was a "natural reservation" and could only be swum, swam, swimmed (I have never been able to figure out the past tense of that and I was a swimmer!) in from 3-5PM. No other times permitted! Haa.




















Liam and Nolan goofing off at the lake. They always make things interesting, that's for sure.



















This is Real (pronounced ray-al) in all her glory. Kidding of course. But she's a beaut, a real big one! (Steve Erwin anyone? His voice incessantly rings in my ears and my brain is beginning to hardwire itself to enjoy his little mannerisms. Animal Planet is one of the VERY few English television stations we get. And you better believe that with two boys, it's all that this house sees.)



















"Citadel." For anybody who wasn't good at history, that's pretty much a town square- a fortress used to protect a town. We live within the walls of the old historical fortress of Sighisoara.



















The bridge to the Orthodox Church in Sighisoara.















A view overlooking the "river" and onto the main "highway" that goes through Sighisoara.



I hope you enjoyed those, instead of feeling overwhelmed by the quantity of them. I will try harder to split up my picture taking and posting. Haha. Right now I don't have time to write much of an update, but one will come early on this week. I hope. =]
Thank you for your prayers!
