Going On Inside

 More pictures of Chateau Vartely, including where they age the wine in casks and the tasting rooms.  Sean liked the red the best. Andreas preferred the muscat.  And we got to take home all the opened bottles!

Bricking

This last time, I worked on bricks in some of the buildings.  This second tier of structures is so stretched that it's hard to see any real progress because it's all the way across.

Still Filling In

I'm almost to the point of being done with filling in the background for the moment.  It's caught up with the other items, so it's going to be back to doing the motif.

Nistru Scene

I found this at the art market while we were there.  It's an original watercolor of a bend in the Nistru (Dniester) River, and I just loved the composition and color.

Octopus At Mykonos

One place we at with Sean at was Mykonos.  Since it seems to be a tradition when he visits us, he had octopus.  It wasn't as spicy as they prepared it at Hemmingway's in Montevideo, but it was very good.  I had the mici, sausages formed from ground beef and pork.  Truthfully, I won't be ordering them again.  Andres had the gyro platter, and we all demolished tzatziki and pitas.  Overall, a very good meal.

Back To Chateau Vartely

We hadn't visited Chateau Vartely since a couple of weeks after we came to Moldova.  The place is just as beautiful as ever.  We didn't have a meal afterwards, but did get a full wine tasting.

Still Art Nouveau

Still working on the last flower in the classic art nouveau idiom.  I'll be so happy when I'm done with it!
