OUR INTRO TO EASTERN EUROPE

This is the first place we stayed in Eastern Europe and we found the city to be delightful, but a little difficult to get around very far or to even find out what there was to see. We made friends with a local woman and she referred us to a reliable taxi driver to take us out to the countryside areas and get to EGER, where we wanted to taste some wines. We frequently purchase wines from that region, here at home in Mexico, but we were rather disappointed with the tastings.

Looks like a beautiful city. I suppose it can be difficult to get around there if you don't know Hungarian. Apparently, German is more popular there than English. And Hungarian food is too spicy for me.
