THE " MOSQUE-CHURCH"



Straight streets and elegant architecture on each side of the street as we stroll around Szeged kicking golden Autumn leaves in our way. Szeged is considered a college town and grateful for that we are able to find accommodation for the night before heading to Pecs, where unknown friends are waiting for us.

Kata, Jan and Sarah ( sorry for the misspelling!!) are a beautiful family whom used their own hands to build their home, where little Sarah learns Hungarian and German without realizing it.
This small town is well worth it to be the next European Culture Capital in 2010. Plenty of festivals when is not too cold, Turkish ruins, Churches and a nice Synagogue are only a few of the things this place has to offer.
They even use an old Mosque as their main Church!!. Definitely not many of those to be seen anywhere.

Thanks to our friends we can learn and enjoy a bit more of the local way of living and also we are introduced to the "Psycho Mutants", a local band that hopefully we will be enjoying their concert in Budapest.
Meeting people like them makes travelling easier and thousand times better....
Thanks again guys!!
