Romanian traffic jams-his back left flat tire does not seem to bother him. Holding up traffic some more! Playing soccer, shooting pistols, knives, cameras, feeding the wildlife, playing the trumpet were all prohibited. We were holding up traffic to take a picture!

Sibiu: Piața Mică- small square- bridge of lies in the background. Notice the eyes in the roof tops which is what Sibiu is famous for. Old Town Sibiu-council tower. We were able to climb to the top and see the mechanics behind the working clock. Dinner at Crama Sibiul Vechi- one of our...
