Gheorgheni II

In the tiny corner store, two puddled and graveled lefts away from our generous and Hungarian-proud host in the predominantly Hungarian town (90%) of Gheorgheni, the well speaking Romanian 40year old something behind the counter:
"If you speak many languages, you are many people."
She seemed to be operating in a somewhat less emotionally charged historical context.
Saying bye and thanks to Gheorgheni, we're off to Brasov.

Gheorgheni

Hello from the valley town of Gheorgheni, geopolitically Romanian since 1925, anthropomentally Hungarian since forever for forever. On our bike tour through Transylvania we have stopped for a rest day,enjoying the endless hospitality of passionate Hungarians... who shared American pancakes with us this morning. ☺ Anything non-Romanian seems to be unproblematic.

Not sure this picture is worth anything, think my phone has 2 megapixels.

Wooden gates and bicycles,
Ben.
