We started the day with a city walk. Alex, our Hungarian guide, took us to the major squares, the medieval wall, and several places of worship. Our hotel is not even a block. away from Victory Square, the site of the demonstration of the Romanian people against the Soviet Regime. Many lost their lives in this uprising. After our walk, we enjoyed the produce and flower markets. There was also time to do laundry, read, and rest.

You know, Elizabeth, that you're in the midst of the original Unitarian heartland. There have been Unitarians in Hungarian-speaking Roumania (formerly Transylvania) since the 16th century. Let me know if you encounter any real live Unitarians or congregations. Cheers and blessings, Ned

Hello, just thought I would stop in and say 'ello! This is Kathryn by the way. I have a feeling that I am probably the only student in that class looking at your blog. I don't care though, I like to be rebellious.

the market is the way life/food should be. Beautiful way of displaying the foods we eat and the flowers are unbelieveable!! Love the road kill marks on the car. Central Oregon cars would be full a marks. Any idea what they were really there for? C & I had a great ride up to Bachelor but not nearly as fun of down because we didn't have you to draft off of.
