A walk through history

We were happy to see the sun again this morning, but it didn't last long. We were able to get out and enjoy it a bit before the rain set in again.

We went to an open air museum. It had lots of wind mills, water mills, oil presses, and other historical structures. I felt like the girls got a pretty good science lesson with all the gears, hammers, pulleys, etc.

The museum was similar to the one we had visited in the Maramures area, but there was more architectural variety in this one. The inside of the homes were pretty similar no matter what the architecture of the outside.

We got our exercise, as the park/museum is spread out over 42 hectares. There was a pond at the centre and some of the paths wound through the woods so we enjoyed not only the history, but the nature as well.

As we were about to leave, the rain set in again! I'm starting to feel like we're in Ireland again, minus the good company.

If it makes your feel any better, we're having the exact same kind of rainy weather here, too. But at least the weatherman says it's looking up for next week. We're keeping our fingers crossed!
