Who, in a camp of gypsies might recognize that the hooks from which
pots of stew were hanging looked something like skate blades? Who,
in their right might thinks of skate blades being any other than in
bright, shiny silver? These black sooty hooks were on all of these
fires, all looked the same. . .just black sooty hooks.
There were some efforts to follow the major bands of gypsies for an
extra year or two, but these were in such a small band, that anyone
would know an entire band of ice-skaters could not hide within. It
would have been just too obvious. No one considered that the whole
band of dark-skinned gypsies might be ice-skaters. But they were.

If you want to see where I live in Romania, just find a decent map--
look to the upper left very near Bucharest, and there is the lake.
Follow the Dimbovita [the t is really a ts] River toward town, it is
going to go right through the middle of town.
As it approaches town it turns very slightly to the right, and, then
again very slightly to the left.
Then more strongly to the right.
That's it. . .don't turn to the right there. . .go just another bit,
the same direction the river was flowing, and you should find a mark
for a church.
