Sibiu-Medieval City-Oct.19 - Part 3
As we drove along towards Sibiu, I marveled at the gorgeous mountains covered in snow. They reminded me of driving through British Columbia.

At the end, I have as much as I want of whatever pastry is available, the most notable one being a sort of pound cake with a layer of apple, whipped cream, and berries on top. I ate nearly a meal's worth of just the dessert at the last family-style meal. The local liquor is palinka, which honestly is like most anyone's local liquor ...
