May 23rd 2007So, on 05/21 I made it to Eger, and on 05/23 I went on a photo expedition. Unfortunately, I also got pretty tired of uploading photos to this blog, so it's good I didn't take more. The fortress itself, the interiors of some the churches, some more general landscape shots, etc. will be forthcoming.

Just one of the many churches in Eger. The town is as famous for its ecclesiastical importance as it is for its military and historical significance.

A LUTHERAN CHURCH!!
Or, as they call it in Hungary, "Evangélikus." That's right -- we were the FIRST evangelicals, before they stole it from us. A very nice Catholic priest told me where to find this.
