…being surrounded by fog, a few meters above the earth, clueless about where you are heading. What goes on in your head?

BorÅŸa was a beautiful place to visit, since it made me reflect upon some personal issues. The thick mist reminded me of ‘Bleak House’, while also making me think about Hell. Yes, for a moment there, I thought that is how Hell must feel like: freezing. And this comes from a person who usually loves cold and fog and, generally speaking, gloomy stuff. Anyhow, it was an incredible experience, the walking and the climbing and the snowflakes which made my hair look as if I was born during World War One. Note to self: if you ever learn to ski properly, go back to BorÅŸa.

Gastronomically speaking, the place was not a bit less surprising than the rest of Maramures county (in Sighetu-Marmatiei the pork-brain sauce, liver and dill seemed to be pretty common pizza toppings): pork fries were high up there in the menu. And, although apparently they’re actually tasty, I didn’t have the “balls” to try them.

Finally, as I was saying, the place made me think a lot. I thought about mistakes, about sins, about regrets. And this is what I tried to express through the pictures I took. A place so beautiful and so quiet I felt even the slightest sound I would make could harm its exceptional beauty.

Ela is 18 and very talkative. In fact, she is so talkative many people have told her to shut up. So she started blogging. Now she can ban those who tell her to shut up.
