The third day continued the adventure of “A day without electricity” and we discovered  together the beauties of Neamt County. First stop was the Museum of Ethnography  “Nicolae Popa”, Târpeşti. From the entrance, we were welcome by the sculptures of the artist and we discovered the life and world of the simple people. We found out about the life of the artist, about the things he had collected during his life and about his drawings, paintings and his wonderful masks and  naïve sculptures. We have discovered the quiet and simple life of people living in villages.

We continued our trip to Agapia Monastery. There, we found out about the history of the monastery, but also about the traditional activities which have made this monastery unique in Romania. We visited a traditional house of nuns, which is still functional. We were shown   how to weave a towel or a carpet and the teachers and students could try themselves. This was an exciting experience and several students tried it more than once. After that, we visited the monastery and we found out about its history and its paintings made by Nicolae Grigorescu.

The third stop was at Neamt Fortress. Even if we were a bit tired, this experience was great for all of us, because both students and teachers had the opportunity to visit one of the oldest fortresses in our country and to discover the beauties of the landscape. The pictures taken there show that.

On the way back to Roman, we stopped to launch lanterns, as a message from all of us to protect the environment against the effects of light pollution.
