Bear whip

I was told that hikers wear a whip around their neck to have handy if they meet up with s bear. The Romanian said that they crack the whip to scare the bear away. It sounds like a bullet shot.

Atticus, How is school this year?

13th century castle

Vadjahunyad castle is fairylike but in Dracula's Translyvania .

Hungarian decoration

Minister at Unitarian church in Deva where embroidered cloths decorate the interior.

Francis David

Francis David was martyred at this citadel in Deva for his Unitarian beliefs.
We took a very steep tram to the top where we worshiped as his memorial cell.
At the base of the tram was the training camp for famous Romanian Olympic gymnasts.
