after the storm....

After the premiere last night, that was overshadowed by bad news...we felt the need to run out of the city and enjoy our first free of work Sunday in the last couple of months. With mom that came to see us on stage last night, we left the boring city behind and took a ride up to Mogosa and Suior Resorts. Peace, beautiful views, relaxed people skiing, hot teas, tiramisu desert, hugs, laughts and photos...these were the things that we needed to start living again.
 
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Love, Gab~

Sapanta - Merry Cemetery

I always wanted to see this place I visited this sunday and since I came to this part of Romania, Maramures...well there are still a lot of beautiful spots to visit ...so I present you : Sapanta's "Merry Cemetery" .
- is known throughout the world due to the talents of the local sculptor, poet and painter Ion Stan Patras. During his lifetime, he created a great number of grave markers which are painted in distinctive "Sapanta Blue" and visually depict the deceased along with an often humorous poem about their lives, habits, personalities and how they died. Ion's intention was to create a place of celebration for the loved ones. He ended up creating one of the most visited attractions in Romania, as well as a truly unique site in the world. Probably the only cemetery in the world where you can smile...
