Pecs

We spent two days in Pecs. (pay-ch)
It was a beautiful old city, just like Logan was
told it would be.

The streets are so tiny!

Sunday morning we decided to go to church.
The internet told us Sacrament meeting started
at 9:30 but when we got there we saw it was really 9..

We walked in right as the first speaker was starting to talk
and I could understand her every word!

As cool as it would have been to say I had been over
come with the gift of tongues it wasn't true...
She was a senior missionary from Utah and she spoke English!

Of course, she had a translator so everyone else there
knew what she was talking about..  Get ready for an
awesome story:  We had met the girl doing the translating before!
No, not at the store down the street the day before, but back home!
 
After the meeting we chatted with the two senior
couples and the missionaries for a while.
We also talked to the girl we had met.

She was a missionary on temple square and after a
performance there of some sort (we can not remember
why we were there) Logan had a nice chat with her in Hungarian
where she told him to read his scriptures so he wouldn't loose
the language.  (Which he had been, and it has paid off.)

Small small world!!

After church we decided to wander around the city
center and check out the sites.
There was some really cool "modern" art.

First, start with a cool little fence.
Add a lock or two.
Maybe a few more...
And before you know it, it's art!

There was also a way cool wine cellar.
I have never seen a wine cellar before so they
are all pretty cool to me...

It was closed on Sunday when we were there
so we didn't get to go inside, but the outside was really cool..

Especially this statue of everyone getting drunk and loosing their clothes.

There were quite a few huge churches around.
This is part of one of the many Catholic churches.


To say the least we had an awesome day!
For anyone planning a trip to Hungary any time
soon I highly recommend this beautiful little city.

I love all the updates!! I just can't believe you went to a foreign country being 27 weeks pregnant! You are definitely more adventurous than I! Glad that your luggage showed up too.

I agree with you on the airport thing, I totally would have said something to the two guys!

We were at the conference center for one of the Christmas performances of the Tab Choir with Erin and Andrew. I remember meeting that Sister Missionary and how we laughed when she told Logan to read his Hungarian scriptures!
