some final thoughts about Vecsés

I've been trying to think about why this funny little town, half an hour from Budapest, is so charming and interesting.  Well, there's the cabbage festival, that's pretty unique.

What I really love about Vecsés is how there's a church in the middle, with a street around it, and all the other streets fan straight out from it (maybe a bit like Goderich, but I don't remember if it has a church in the middle.)  All the houses are pastel colours of salmon, yellow, orange, ya, that's about it, mostly those three colours in slightly varying shades.  There are hundreds of dogs!  Everyone has a fenced and gated yard, with the fence pressed right against the sidewalk.  When walking, I've had the óü+!/%+ű scared out of me several times when a giant, unbelievably loud dog suddenly lurches out of nowhere up against the fence.

And the roofs, they're the best.  All made out of some type of thick clay tiles.  Yikes, Csaba is here, my ride to the train station.  Sziasztok!
