Trip to Sibiu

We escaped the heat of Bucharest for the 70s weather of Sibiu. Missionaries from the central district were meeting in the city for a conference. I was shocked at how beautiful the buildings were.

The view from our hotel room was spectacular. Due to Sibiu's distance from Bucharest and any oil-producing, it seems unaffected by the war. Most of the early buildings are still standing.

This tall wall surrounds the downtown area and encloses some of the oldest buildings in the area.

I absolutely love the texture of the different objects embedded in mortar. 

On the reverse side was a staircase leading up to the second floor where they operated a museum.

We stopped by a pastrami restaurant and had the best Reuben sandwiches we had since Anaconda, Montana. They were a bit different, as we like rye bread, but we still ate every bite.

These missionaries are so fun to spend time with. 

We enjoyed a lunch together around the corner of the chapel. After suffering through some serious heat in Bucharest, it was nice to sit outside and relax in the cooler weather.

The joy they experience together is infectious.

Here we are together!

We saw this gentleman on the side of the street and he gave us a tour of his car.

This was the cutest car I have ever seen!

I enjoy taking pictures of the wood and brick structures around town.
