RE: Old Village in Transylvania

I was so much looking forward to this post!
It is true, it doesn't look at all like any Greek village. It is amazingly beautiful, like being in a fairy tale! Authentic and simple! The nature is just wonderful! I am "absorbing" the green from your pictures!
I imagine being there in spring, all the flowers and birds...
It is so sad that the fate of these villages was to be abandoned. It is pretty much like here, the village we live has almost 100 habitants and the previous one less than 50.
I love the houses, their architecture and simplicity. It sounds so logical to want a small house and a big garden! How much things have changed, even common sense.
Your wife is so sweet! The way she stands (in all her photos, in other posts, too) show kindness and sensitivity!
A great tour, thank you so much for sharing!
I thank you for this wonderful and warm comment.
Of course, there is a big difference between villages in Greece and Romania. You liked Garbou, I like the Greek villages and the climate (even if the summer is getting harder to bear).
Thanks for what you said about my wife, you noted her qualities very well.
I must say that it is thanks to you that I wrote this post. During the elaboration I wanted to give up several times but because you said you were waiting to see what this village is like I took it to the end.
Thank you!
@bluemoon, I am so happy that you wrote about Garboul-Dejului!!!
It is a wonderful tour to your wife's childhood place! It made me travel through seasons, imagining the scenery, the smells and sounds in spring, the heavy snow running down the roofs in winter! And of course to the past! And a bit to the future :)
Thank you so much for writing it! I feel, may I say, honored? Yes! Thank you!
To be honest, at the previous post about Dej it wasn't clear if you actually even managed to go to the final destination, Garbou, and I thought maybe I shouldn't mention it... But I did, haha! And I am very happy I did! I really wanted to know about it! As I see many people enjoyed it as well! Wonderful!
