Stag House Sighisoara

... In contrast, the clock tower museum was a relative bargain and certainly worth one’s time. The massive enema baster was perhaps my favourite artifact in the museum, but there were many other town- and guild-related items as well. There were once many guilds in the town, each specialising in a certain craft (as guilds tend to do), and many of them had specific towers for their crafts. The clock tower is the last remaining tower of ...

... a hill. Coming off the train station I was already giddy and it fulfilled my medieval fantasies! I visited this cemetery and walked around it for a bit. I had a great time creeping myself out and kept thinking about the Creep Show Movie short bit where the mean old father zombie comes out of his grave for revenge. I think his problem was he wanted his birthday cake. I didn't have anything to give so I didn't spend too long there!

... there you are, a little man of two hundred kilograms,you should get on the horse and go fight the enemy. Tell me,how the **** do you get on a horse like that? I went looking for the torture museum but i just couldn`t find it.And i came across to lovely little Cafe Internationale. Their cakes seemed divine, so i stopped for a break.Later i read in Lonely Planet that it was the meeting  place for christian community. I could tell from the music.  Aside ...

... things are not, like MILK. The kid and I had a brief, unresolved debate over American milk versus British milk. In America we have whole milk, skim, 1%, 2%, soy... He booed these endless choices because the best milk in the world is the two jugs of fresh milk that get delivered to his door every morning by some elderly milkman on a bike. He also misses tea time and plans to drink tea 5 times a day once he gets to his "gran's" in a few ...

... Ana (Saint Anna) Lake was beautiful. Apparently it is 90m deep approx. But due to the volcanic ash at the bottom, this depth is an estimate. Romanians come here to camp in the summer. Swimming and bathing in the lake and going to their protected camping areas at the designated time, to avoid becoming the designated meal of one or more of the many black bears they have in those mountains. At the feast of Sfanta Ana, in the summer, the area is ...

... this guy and thus the legend was born. What's disappointing was that although the book and character were both said to have come from Trnsylvania, in truth, Vlad never even lived here, he lived elsewhere. It's rumored he may have stayed here a few nights at the "Bran's Castle", but really, since Bram Stoker had never even BEEN to Transylvania, we went to this castle, to play on the myth and lore, with no actual historical significance to it at all. In fact, the castle itself ...

... anul acesta din Champions League (pentru Steaua mă refer). Primul meci, cu Slavia, un 2-1 mincinos pentru cehi zic eu, pentru că noi am jucat cu mult mai bine, dar ei au profitat din plin de greșelile pe care le-am făcut. De la meciurile cu Arsenal și Sevilla nu ne puteam aștepta la prea multe, deși speram, am rămas ...

... overconfident...but I don't see we have much other choice and she is a local and a confident and willing one at that. Part of me wonders when the last time she drove a car was but as I said, I'm trying to have faith and there don't seem to be a lot of options... We wait a bit, a plow sort of scrapes some of the ice off of part of the road...but it's still in Magda's hands and she's totally psyched...I'm going to just cheer her on from deep in my ...

... a glass of Romanian moonshine into my hand. There was also some candy, so I reckon that was meant to be breakfast. Eventually, a lot of the groom's people started to show up and share in the revelry. These would probably be other groomsmen and guests of the groom in normal circumstances, but since I was really the only one, these were mostly the male friends of the bride and her brothers. And yes, it was all dudes. After some drinking and good times there ...

... big grocery stores here; all the foodstuff was behind the counter and the shopkeeper serves you each item. Once again, lots of pointing and nodding - all received with the greatest patience. We explored Sighișoara quite extensively and toured the local orthodox church. We saw a car being blessed outside the church by the local priest after our tour. Based on the way Romanians drive, we would say the extra insurance is worth it! Next page is next entry - too many words to be accepted!
