Pecs

Decided to go to a nice little town called Pecs in Hungary. The Ottomans left a few mosques behind and the place is supposed to make you think you are close to the sea. When I arrived, I found myself in the middle of a music festival. I was able to take in a few Hungarian bands that had an interesting array of folk and electronic music. There were also a couple of lazer light shows and booths selling food and wine.

The town has a number squares, churches, and pedestrian streets. Some squares have white marble and beautiful fountains.

The Mecset Templom (Mosque Church) was very interesting. It used to be a mosques but after the Ottomans left it was turned into a Catholic church. It is a square shape with a huge dome on top and is crowned with a star and half moon....oh sorry, that is a cross and half moon.

St. Peter,s Bayilika with its four tours was a great sight. I also went to another former mosque (now museum) and a jewish synagogue. Weird being to three different religious buildings in one day.

I have to say that Hungarian food is winning the best ethnic food contest. Along with pork, chicken, and beef you get onions, tomatoes and lots of paprika mixed in. Yum. Also the goulash is excellent.
