6. I'd like to know where #4 was taken.

I know Black Pottery from Romania and Hungaria, and the embroidery on the woman's shirt also seems to fit for Romania. OTOH you are in America, so it could be a place on the other side of the world. So I'm curious.

In 2015. I'm an historian of Mexico and was there with study abroad students.

I just love the fruit trees I've planted here. In just a couple of weeks, the plum trees will be blooming again, food for the bees and the butterflies....then long about June, food for us, too.
