Koloszvar (yes, I've been spelling it wrong), 8:16 p.m.

What a wonderful day! No where to be too early--but church service was at 11:00 a.m. The minister was so warm and greeted us after the service with lots of helpful information about the history of the church and of our faith. He even took the time to take us to the crypt. After lunch our hosts from the Unitarian High School (two lovely young men, both headed to University this next year) gave us a tour of the city. We saw the Catholic Church, that for a time was Unitarian; the birth place of King Mattias, a much loved leader for Hungarians; the Reform (Calvinist) Church; the University; and the Botanical Gardens. Tonight (soon, so I have to hurry) we will have a community celebration. We have a surprise for John L. and Emery--they both have worked so hard to make our trip wonderful.

I'll write one more time from Budapest. We leave at 4:30 in the morning, egad. That will give us about 24 hours more in the city before we head home. Sorry I don't have time for more today...
