This is always a winning combination: the weekend, good weather, and a favorite place to walk.

Beautiful and even sublime Sundays have returned to my path. My street... word comes, I mean a street that is much more than that and belongs to all the inhabitants of the city where I live too, Bucharest.

Every time I wrote about Bucharest, I also wrote about the country this city is in. In the many years that I have been writing here, I have written about this city hundreds of times and, for me, it would be a great achievement if I helped a little to promote it. Surely my friends who read me know the country, of course, most of them know it from their school and general culture, not only from my information. So I decided not to mention the name of the country when I talk about my city, I am afraid that some of you might feel offended that I think they don't know which country in Europe has its capital in Bucharest.

This Sunday was very nice weather, summer weather. A walk around the most attractive place in town, i.e. Victory Avenue, is the best choice, which I did! 

Something special happens with this boulevard on weekends. It turns from the most crowded boulevards of car traffic into one that belongs only to people. A boulevard for strolling! I've chosen, I hope, the best photos and here's what I saw.

### Freedom 

*When the walkers have taken over the roadway, the people still cross at marked crosswalks even though they can walk anywhere. The power of habit...*

*I saw many tourists eager to taste traditional Romanian food.*

*The image is strange to me and people walking are bewildered because they can walk anywhere without restrictions or worry about getting injured.*

*Most people out for a walk in the city center, on this car-free boulevard, are families with children. I saw a lot of children curious and happy about the freedom they had gained.*

### Black and White

*Victory Avenue is one of the city's oldest boulevards, with over 300 years of traffic. It is the avenue where most traces of the past remain. Many buildings are more than a hundred years old.*

*That's why I love walking here and always feel like there are hundreds of years behind. I think black and white photos are more appropriate in this case.*

*Here begins the Revolution Square, the former Palace Square, the palace of the former royal family of Romania. This is where the past begins, the Romania of the early twentieth century!*

*Before the palace, which is opposite, is a building, one of the most beautiful in the city, the Athenaeum. A building that was built by public subscription.*

*The Palace Square is dominated by the statue of the first king of Romania, a German noble, Carol I.*

*In front of the "horse" is the Royal Palace*...

... *At the horse's tail is the University Library building, built at the King's wish*.

*In the same square, there is also the monument of the Heroes of the Revolution, the Palace Square became the Revolution Square!*

*Barriers that prevent cars from circulating on weekends on this boulevard.*

### Fairy Tails

*The color reappeared most pleasantly and beautifully, unexpectedly and generously.*

*One small event can change the whole day. We (my wife and me) passed a wall made of flowers...*

*It was also a princess or a fairy, so I thought when she presented my wife with a bouquet.* 

![IMG_20240428_102319.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bluemoon/23u65VkruKkooHy1CS6LUmxoEMa3ACLHV6U7XkuhGDVoqh53MxRhjvbhmBE2xSE41xB7x.jpg)

*I understand it was a marketing stunt for a Netflix series. The upcoming launch of a new series of Bridgerton. My wife was more than impressed by this event and the beauty of the gesture.*

![IMG_20240428_102321.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bluemoon/23vhudddq8vXi8cgzQhXh9fZGdZ7Fp1P7frqMQodru14V7CqPCMrGCeKKZkpTck6TtwCi.jpg)

*It was a successful advertising campaign if I followed our reaction. I don't have time to watch the series but my wife has seen about five episodes so far, and it's 11.30 p.m., who knows when she'll go to bed*... 

![IMG_20240428_102336.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bluemoon/23wqkBT4dxhobedsyXF8CggQ4VXyuD3WZjdqBzUhCbxN2UDb2Eg8gU9uptUynpcJeDTRF.jpg)

*I dare, finally, to ask you a question, of course, and to see how many of the eventual readers have lasted to the end:*

*What do you think my wife's age is?*
