The people are special too!

Apparently there was a massive thunderstorm, lightning and lots of rain about midnight. We slept through it all! However the stream that runs through Eger was rushing quickly this morning and had swollen so much the water was spilling over onto some of the paths.

Hungary is not only special because of its beauty, but because of its people. We had been looking forward to seeing some people at church this morning that we knew when we lived here. Unfortunately 2 of the ladies I wanted to see were ill and not there but we fortunately got to see some others. Not all got in the photos but most did. I love these Eger ladies. As we were here during Covid we didn't get to mingle as much as we would have done otherwise but we did enough to know how special they are and we have missed them. Kati made a very yummy chocolate and sour cherry cake to share after the meetings.

Ottilia and Lajos invited us to their apartment for lunch.
A very Hungarian menu and it was delicious. A choice of fruit soup (chilled) or a vegetable and dill soup (hot), followed by chicken paprika with pasta, and a cake and a pastry dessert. We had such a wonderful afternoon.

Later in the day we took a last walk around Eger and headed to the Archbishop's Garden, the name of the large park that was a regular walking destination for us. Then finally a walk around the castle and a chance to enjoy the views over Eger.Read more
