Szeged: Second Time Around

Posted in Travel, tagged , , on April 29, 2015| 5 Comments »

October 16-19, 2014: While I was waiting to finally enter Szeged’s beautiful synagogue, I had plenty of time to take another look at buildings I had admired on my first visit.

Maybe that was the problem, because the town just didn’t excite me the way Pecs and Szeged had. If I’d seen it first I’d probably have liked it more. Not that I would suggest skipping it, […]

Surprised by Pecs

At the beginning of this trip, all I knew about the end was that I would fly from Budapest to Washington, spend four nights there, and then take Amtrak home. How I’d get to Budapest was something I’d figure out later. Maybe the train from Zagreb? (Perhaps it had improved since 2004…) Maybe traveling north […]
