Cluj!

From the farm, I spent one night in Sibiu (beautiful town), and then went on to Cluj, where I stayed for a week.  This town isn't quite as picturesque as some of the other areas I've seen in Romania, but it is has a wonderful central square with vibrant cafes, and I got to meet up with a couple of the women from the retreat!  The highlight was the salt mine.  Deep below the ground, in a former salt mine, there is a ferris wheel, boats, ping pong, and it's beautiful because the walls have wave patterns, and they've decorated it to look like an instagram dream.
Several coffee shops here had cold brew and tonic, sometimes with something additional such as rose oil - this was an unexpectedly delightful combination I hope to repeat again.  There was also an interesting museum of Jewish history in Cluj.  In the US, when it comes to Jewish history in Europe, we pretty much focus on the Holocaust.  This museum covered Jewish tradition in Romania, and specifically Cluj, for hundreds of years.  From Cluj, 16,000 Jewish people were sent to Aushwitz.  Of those, 2,000 survived.  Communism started soon after that, and most of the remaining Jewish people left for Israel or the United States, and today there are less than 300 Jewish people left in Cluj.
