This is my entry for #seasonchallenge initiated by  @roxy-cat and @erikah 

A month ago, on the 21st of December 2018, I was to travel from Chisinau, Moldova, to the city of Lviv, Ukraine.

At exactly seven in the evening I pressed the starter start button, the engine turned on, and the tire tires began to draw a 1300-kilometer-long trail.

In Moldova, the road was beautiful, it was dry, when the border was about fifty kilometers away and the snow began to sweep away.

The customs post looked like a Christmas tree, a lot of snow and warning lights of the checkpoint.

Further road was like a big adventure, or a war with snow. Right janitor on the windshield ceased to exist and burned out the low beam fuse of the right headlight.

I looked at the road through the small gap that the left janitor provided for me.

Eyes quickly tired. I began to catch on the thought that I was falling asleep.

About three o'clock in the morning, I decided to stop and clean the lights from the snow.

When I got out of the car, I did not immediately understand where I was.

I still do not know where I was, but what I saw to the right of my car was strange and majestic.

It was the fortress wall of the old castle, or fortress.

I did not see any signs that would indicate the name of the settlement. I only saw the fortress and the defensive towers.

I was very tired, I first decided that I was dreaming. I remembered all the films whose heroes fell into the Middle Ages, it was funny and scary at the same time.

I wanted to take these pictures and wanted to get out of here quickly. I do not know, this is a strange feeling when you find yourself where you were not expected and you are not very happy.

I remember this, and, sorry. that i didn't get around this building. I was in a hurry, I wanted to go home before Christmas.

The most interesting thing is that I was looking for this fortress on Google map, along the road along which I was driving, I did not find anything like this fortress.

This is the kind of winter story that happened to me before Christmas.
