Eger

Elder and Sister Cummings and Sister Weberg and I drove to Eger to visit the castle, the Palacsintavar and the Marzapan Museum. Eger is such a quaint little town. It’s fun to just walk around it’s cobblestone streets and look at everything. We met Elder and Sister Scott and went to one of the outdoor Piac for a bit, then we went to lunch at the Palacsintavar. I love that place! :) Their palacsinta’s are amazing! Besides being delicious, they are a work of art. They make things so beautiful here! After stuffing ourselves, we walked it off by going up to the castle and looking around.

Sister Hanson and her favorite view of the city.

Holes in the castle wall made for cannons to shoot through.

Sister Weberg took a picture of us through one of the cannon holes.

I took a picture of Sister Weberg through the same hole in the castle wall.

How's this for a giant dog house?  :)  This is one of the guard dogs that roam the castle after closing time.

Senior's have fun too!  :)

A view of the Minaret from the castle. 

The Minaret was built in the 17th century during Turkish occupation.  It is made from carved sandstone and stands 131 feet. 
 



After leaving the castle area, we went to the Marzipan Museum. 
All that you see in this picture is made of Marzipan, except for Sister Weberg, of course.  :)
