Sighisoara

We spent 24 hours in a town about 200 Kilometers northwest of Bucharest. The town of Sighisoara (don't ask me to pronounce it correctly) was settled about 150 years ago by Germans. At the time, it was a fortified city. Atop one of the major hills is a castle and a clock-tower. Much of the town looks and feels as it did in the 1880s. It is described as being a medieval town. We spent most of our time walking around and enjoying the views. We went up to an Orthodox graveyard on the far side of town and saw interesting, old graves. We also went into a Catholic church and an Orthodox church. I will try to write in another post about the graduation ceremony we saw. I will also try to add some more detail (and photos) to this post when I have a chance.
