Romania


My parents are on Stefano Ionescu's Ottoman rugs in Transylvania tour. Mom sent these pictures and this:

We have been in Romania for some time now and our guide has been running us from pillar to post or rather Lutheran Church to Lutheran Church looking at Ottoman rugs. It has all been quite interesting. We have wonderful meals in all kinds of settings - tavern, shepherd's home, ski chalet, castle grounds.

The last 3 days we have been in Brasov, a town in a beautiful valley. The surrounding mountains are still covered with snow. It has been cool-warm and last nite we had a thunder storm followed by rain.

Today we are off to another section of Transylvania for more rug viewing.



More to come...
