I just lost all that I had written. One of these days I will know exactly how all this works and not have these inconveniences. Anyway to continue this is about Sunday, August 2, 2009 as we prepare to go to church. As my thoughts wander just a little I find myself thinking about the 20# of tomatoes I purchased on Thursday to peel, seed, cut up and freeze. I remember this is really pretty easy compared to my grandmother who had to plant the tomatoes, weed them, pick them and then can them. I'm not about to go to those lengths. Anyway, back to Sunday.
The church was formerly a Catholic Church that the congregation purchased and totally renovated making everything very aesthic and clean looking. We later visited a Catholic Church that while beautiful was totally the opposite with all kinds of incredible decoration. I did get a picture of the steeple which I really liked. The service reminded me a great deal of my mother's Lutheran Church in Minnesota. The pastor was a novice giving one of her first sermons. She did very well and managed to look cool and calm even in heavy black robes on a very hot Sunday. Actually it wasn't too bad inside the church as the walls must be at least two feet thick. The pews have been there for awhile and are just a tad narrow for a more generous backside. I am assuming the previous congregants were a bit smaller. Josh and I found we could pretty much follow the service in the prayer book even though it was totally in Hungarian. Our Hungarian is rather sparse. At the end of the service we got to stand and tell our names and where we were from (Josh absolutely loved this part!). We weren't the only visitors that day as there was a pastor from Melbourne, Australia raised in Transylvania who was also visiting. It just goes to show you that our world is definitely getting smaller. I have had my
International Real Estate Certification for a number of years because I truly believe we are rapidly becoming one world.
We did a walk around town as Josh has never been there before. I will be displaying a picture that shows a side of me I prefer not to reveal but you can see some typical streets. We stopped for glasses of lemonade and then went home to Laci's fresh fish lunch. Just in case starvation was about to set in, he made steak on the barbeque for dinner. One thing I really like about Hungary is that everyone, including the kids, sits around the table after a meal and actually Talks. After a nice visit, the boys went out for a while, and I said good night and went for a very sound sleep.---
