    • Dear Yair, thank you so much for dedicating your BEST album to me. Of course, this is the 100th time I've visited it, but each time is like the first time. I love this place, and your photos captured the best of it. You did a wonderful job. Thanks, once again, for dedicating it to me. What a special honor.... Hugs, kisses, and love....Maria

    • Yes the real medieval town & they kept all old buildings as they were in the 15th century. I haven't seen the house where Vlad Tepes Dracula, was born & lived since he was five, but I know that house is there ( a very nice restarurant nowadays). I love this album, also that was a town which left one of the most impressions to me... Greetings Ana Marija

    • album of oertlif_3
    • Back to Dracula (thanks for your GE today!): The Earl Dracula, vampire living of the blood of living persons, is a pure literary invention of the Irish poet Bram Stoker (end of 19th cent.) - but the horrific legends concerning him had at that time, and especially in the first half of the 20th cent., an immense echo, in several countries but especially (why?) in Romania. Several cities are said to have been home to Dracula, amongst others Sighisoara...! - Best wishes: Kaethi and Henri

    • album of oertlif
    • Dear friend Yair: this is another example of how ideally present a subject, a visit of a historically important place to a larger circle of visitors. We can follow the walk through the Citadel (certainly so far completely unknown to most of us) as if we really were there, profiting from the explanations and comments. I must add a detail concerning me: that I was particularly interested in the house of Dracula... which and who played an important role in my youngest years... - Thank you and all good wishes: (Kaethi and) Henri
