Targu Mures has a park in the downtown area, nestled between
4 lanes of traffic. There are vendors selling
produce and flowers, benches are resting and watching, the usual statues
saluting historic figures, and a large clock.
Rose beds border the entire park area, and people are always enjoying
the beauty around it. At this time of
year, an extremely tall tree is the center of attention.
The annual lighting of the Christmas Tree took place on
Wednesday, Dec. 5 at 6p. Despite being
sick, I bundled up to watch with the other thousands of Romanians. It was worth it!
Not only was the tree lit, but so was the entire downtown
area……..every tree and bush, all the street lights, building, and even the
busses!! There was not just one tree,
but two (the second one being a smaller silver tree). Vendors were selling their food and crafts,
politicians were campaigning (elections are Sunday, Dec. 9), and Santa was
hanging around. A free concert was held
for all who wanted to stand in the cold to hear.
The Walkway of Lights in Marble Falls is great, but this was even better!
From our house to yours
Crăciun fericit
