Thank you, Florina for informing us about your city and its surroundings.
In fact the temperature doesn’t get very cold. I thought it would be colder. In Brest where I live we have quite a lot of rain all year long but it doesn’t get very cold either nor very hot.
Maps are quite useful to locate places. The photos are beautiful. Could you write a short caption under each photo, please, to tell us what they represent exactly in your city?
Are the costumes from your city or region or from another place in Romania? Are they handwoven?
Are there still many wolves living around the town of Orastie? There used to be some in Brittany until the end of the 19th century but they have disappeared from our countryside.
This is very interesting, Florina!
I enjoyed watching the slide on the castles of Romania. Their square towers with a very high pointed roof are quite striking. What stone are they made of? They are very particular and recognizable.
