at an open-air museum with country houses from different regions of Romania
real- Compare the concrete plaza of the 'new center' of our city in Romania (population 140,000) with last week's pool/heaven complex photos of 'my' Austrian village (population 4,000). This is what communism and poverty does. This sidewalk was like this ten years ago. I'm not sure that anyone is really bothered by it- Slavs would say, "Je normalny." (It's normal), and Romanians say, "Asta e viata." (That's life)- As a privileged, middle-class American, their resignation peeves me, but "asta e viata!"
Beautiful pictures ! You certainly have a good eye for taking photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks! maybe they would be better with a camera better than my $129 point and shoot :)
DeleteWhen we lived in Montana, I could buy just about any food I wanted from my local grocery store... or parishioners who raised it themselves or the Hutterites. I read "Animal Vegetable Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver while living there and it made an impression.
ReplyDeleteWe are lucky to have farmers' markets around here which is a bit closer- but not the same as raising our own!
DeleteBeautiful photos. The children look great and have so many memories of the "old country". I want some of that honey when we come and visit please.
ReplyDeleteyou have a kilo of honey on reserve! ;)
