Szentendre


Wed 7/2 - We took a day trip w/ Beata, her daughter Beata Veszely and Pedi (B’s grandson), Jenna, Howard, Andreas and I. We began seeing ruins and ended up in Szentendre a lovely little town just outside of Budapest where we saw a government subsidized artist’s colony. The gov’t gives a select number of Hungarian artists studio and living space in the colony as well as a gallery to show their work in. This is lifelong support if you are accepted. The town itself is geared toward tourist traffic, but has a number of old buildings and museums including a Serbian church. Images attached.
