Local Food and Sightings

Farmers Market, getting there, I'm afraid these oranges on my desk are the closest I can show from the Farmers' Market.  It was bustling and my focus was on buying breakfast and not getting pick-pocketed.
I didn't realize until we were leaving that I had left my cell in sight in my jacket pocket.  Lehel said, "Remember you are in 'the East' now."

One the way to the market, behind the Unitarian buildings.  Gray communist era apartment below.
Someone was passing out coupons for coffee at McDonalds good only after 7pm. Wow, do I miss American coffee- a nice big mug- these little sips of expresso aren't doing it!

Olympus Cafe where I got take out dinner- lots of filo pastry, not much cheese. 
Side street with Unitarian HQ on right,
December 21,1989 Blvd ahead.


Cafe across the street owned by Unitarian Church.  The same kitchen cooks for this as for our basement school dining room.  Church here are very entrepreneurial here.
SUUS Travelers take note- this is the Hotel Transilvania on left, where Bram Stoker stayed while writing Dracula and where you will stay at the end of our Pilgrimage.  Below, hotel courtyard. I had dinner there tonight!

Above, cottage cheese fritter with jam and cream.  Yum!
An amazing ancient wood and iron door that deserves more of a showcase than it is getting,
a few doors up from the Hotel.
Good night!
