KÖSZEG, HUNGARY

OWe went to Köszeg twice.  The first time with the Jensens.  This is  our livingroom in our new apartment in Szombathely.  The Jensens are very funny people to hang around with.  This was Christmas Eve.

The second time we went with the Szombathely Elders and Hannah Brown.  Left to right is yours truly, Hannah Brown, Elder Haws, Elder Mortensen, Elder Blake, Elder Lindow and Sister Scherrer.  What a great group of people.

Train trips are always a fun time to goof off.

This town was established in 1328AD.  Város means city.  This is the cover of the city drain system.

The Catholic Church in the center of town is impressive.  Sister Scherrerr is in the foreground.  Inside they had a display of the Nativity.  One of the wise men had a elephant instead of a camel.  Hmmmm!

This is a general over view of the city.  Some buildings are much older than others.

This was the mote that probably went around the castle.  Watch for this old stone.  It was part of the Roman walls in B.C.  

Another piece of the Roman wall.  

Besure to notice another part of the Roman wall.

I am telling you.  i love this architecture.

This statue probable means something very important because someone has put flowers at the base of it.

The most important part of our trips was this Catholic Church.  This was taken with a telescope lens.  It is on top of one of the hills in Köszeg.  We climbed up to it.  It had roads to it but I wouldn't dare to drive up there in the winter.  

We climbed up the hill and took these pictures.

The church was built in 1715AD.  This is a little building next to the church.  I don't know what it would  be used for.

These plaques were attached to the walls that went around the perimeter of the church property.

The inscription says " Jesus is taken off the cross".   Too bad they didn't mention that He was resurrected.  

I enjoy embroidering on the train.  My friend Ildiko taught me the Hungarian style emboidery.  It's very relaxing.
