Want to know what's really old? try this Walled Citadel and 1000 year old Unitarian church visit

Friday:
We toured the medieval city Segesvar/Sighisoara.  We used to think 200 years was a long time - this stuff is 500 to 1000 years old. Climbing the hills and staircases added a few years on us as well.

And by the way- talk about timeless... this was the birthplace of Vlad Tepes -( the original Dracula) - he still lives...


But then we visited two Unitarian churches  - one that was about 200 years old and has a Unitarian High School.  Then we get to another Unitarian church in a building constructed in about 1200 AD and has been Unitarian for 450 years... (when the lord of the manor converted to Unitarianism)
Talk about old!   Really amazing - this church is a Unesco heritage site...

So feeling young again - we are on to our second concert and more fun tomorrow
