Defitely One of the World's Beautiful Cities

Friday, Aug. 19, 2016--Subotica

We made a final round of the best of the art nouveau buildings in town this morning taking photos of small details of the buildings.  One of the buildings had guards who didn't like us taking photos.  They said, "Hello.  Stop!  Go!"  What's amazing is that it is pictured on the Internet (as shown by the link above), so what good would it do to stop someone from taking more pictures?  And if they had checked my camera, they would have seen that the only photo I took was one that zoomed in on a tiny decorative detail of the building.  Anyway, we figured out from the Internet that the building is the Consulate for Hungary.

As we wandered, we also found some places we still hadn't seen.  We saw the interior of the Orthodox Church.  We went into the Railway Station.  We explored a narrow street with high class sidewalk cafes.  We went through the local market which was closing (where Wes found a stall selling horse meat).

We ate huge plates of food tonight.  Mine was chunks of pork cooked with onions, mushrooms, and cheese and served with tomatoes, pickles, corn, and a spicy sauce.  Wes had seasoned boneless chicken breasts with similar vegetables.  We shared a plate of fries to go with them.

We ended the evening by walking around the city one more time.  This is a really beautiful place.  It has one of the best town squares I have ever enjoyed.  It's too bad that so few people know about it.  I bet it would be fantastic at Christmas.
