Medieval festival = vacation

I'm leaving tomorrow:D- yey!!
I'm going to a medieval festival somewhere in the mountains, in one of the nicest, oldest towns in Romania...I'll take pictures...
It's great; every year something else happens...aside from the costumes and happening shows and stuff like that there's the human element.... the town swarms with extremely poor art students and the last two or three days are the best - they no longer have money to feed themselves and will do most anything for a beer.

Last summer I saw a guy with a cardboard sign on his back that said: "Will take a kick in the a$$ for a beer!" and another with a sign something like "I will fan you with a newspaper and provide intelligent conversation for 15 minutes for a trip to the next town"

Can't wait - I'll bring back photos....

Hope you're not going to be one of those poor art guys ... but take pics of yourself if you are! ;)

nah - those days are over me...boy those were the days...
It was a time when I would have sported one of those signs myself...too old now, but I can dream Check out
a few photos... <- those are not made by me but they can give you an idea...

oh btw - I didn't tell you - Sighisoara (the town I'm going to) is the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler ...

Vlad the Impaler=Dracula? ;)

You bet'cha:D

I came back - Boy did I hit a bad luck vacation - my FlashCard broke down the first day - I only took a few photos - the bad thing is all "regular" stores close down during the festival in Sighisoara... So I went through the whole festival without taking even one shot... after it was over I went to meet with some friends in another town and lo and behold - the first store I enter - I see a flashcard on the counter... - so I bought it - went back to Sighisoara and took as many photos as I could...

Hope you like it - uh oh - check out Dracula's birthplace...if you're into that sort of thing....

Here's the gallery
