| A Saturday morning stroll to the park and old Council Square takes me down a steep cobblestone street. |
 |
| I walk past crumbling stone buildings, some dating back to the 15th century. |
 |
| The Council Square---This has been the place for annual markets since 1364. |
 |
| "The Council House was built in 1420. The tower, called the Trumpets Tower, is in fact much older, and was once a watchtower for approaching barbarians before being incorporated into the main building. It was the place where an alarm was sounded when danger menaced the city." (Romanian Tourism) |
 |
| On Saturday mornings, I often stop at a German bakery and order bruschetta and a Berliner (doughnut filled with raspberry jam and sprinkled with powdered sugar). |
 |
| On this particular Saturday, I enjoyed watching a group of little boys chase the pigeons. |
 |
| Young children delight in life, fresh air, and chasing birds---no matter their culture or nationality. |
 |
| Black Church---Construction began in 1380. |
 |
| This is my favorite tree in the park. |
 |
| Every day in the park, groups of older men gather to play chess. |
