We had a leisurely day today to enjoy the sights and sounds of Sibiu. We visited museums, walked the ramparts, saw craftsmen demonstrating woodworking and ironworking techniques at the Guild Towers along the old town wall, climbed the Council Tower, shopped at folk art and second hand stores, and had more great meals. Below are some moments from the day.

| View of the Large Square (Piata Mare) from the top of the Council Tower |
 |
| Children playing in the Piata Mare fountain |
 |
| Michael, Jaffray, and Rob on the "Liar's Bridge" at the end of Piata Mica (Small Square) |
 |
| Archway between Piata Huet and a smaller street below. The entrance to the absolutely charming restaurant (the Weinkeller) where we ate lunch is just through the archway on the right. |
 |
| View from our table on the small patio under the grape arbor at the Weinkeller. The archway is at the top of the stairs. |
 |
| The Carpenters Guild Tower on the City Wall. If you look closely you will see volunteer carpenters demonstrating old working techniques at the base of the tower. |
 |
| An ironworker/smith specializing in guns (an Arquebusier) working at the base of the Potters Tower (not sure why he isn't at his own tower). |
