Bounded on the east and south by the Carpathian mountain range, historical Transylvania extended in the west to the Apuseni Mountains; however, the term sometimes encompasses not only Transylvania proper, but also the historical regions of Crișana, Maramureș, and Romanian part of Banat. The region of Transylvania is known for the scenic beauty of its Carpathian landscape and its rich history." NB. source Wikipedia
I love it... I really love Felix....
That's why, I consider this summer holiday as a special love...

I'm so highly thankful to my mom who builded this emotion, decades after decades, while we used our energy to make long travels till to the heart of the astonishing region of Bihor County...in search of a good cure for health, cheerful time and positivity for soul and heart to the Băile Felix ...
My mom is my inspiration... she can be considered as a model of a strong personality in quest of being yourself, despite or, no matter how many difficulties or how many issues can come in our way...
So...always faithful... or
"Semper Fidelis"***...it can be said...

& some creatures (critters): like frogs and turtles.
"Nelumbo nucifera - the pink lotus known by numerous common names including Indian lotus, sacred lotus, bean of India, or simply lotus, is one of two species of aquatic plant in the family Nelumbonaceae"
and
"Nymphaea alba, also known as the European White Waterlily, White Lotus, White Water Rose or Nenuphar, is an aquatic flowering plant of the family Nymphaeaceae."
here: "Nymphaea lotus var. thermalis is a plant variety endemic to the thermal water of the Peţa River (Bihor County, Transylvania, Romania). The rivulet and lake have a constant temperature of 30–31°C and the subtropical water lily species is a tertiary relict. It was declared a natural monument in 1931." Source of infos: Wikipedia

Lyrics:
"She is like the lady down the road
Or just the woman up the street,
Like any mother you may know.
To me, she is the one who had it planned
To lead us all to Wonderland,
She always wanted us to go,
And she said:
Don't ever be lonely,
Remember, I'll always care.
Wherever you may be
Remember I will be there.
And like another lady that we know
She has a smile so bright and sweet,
And hair as white as driven snow;
Though life is never easy day to day,
She has a very special way
To make us smile when we are low.
And she says:
Don't ever be lonely
Remember, I'll always care.
Wherever you may be
Remember I will be there.
Don't ever be lonely
Remember, I will be there.
I will be there.
I will be there."
