Kolontár

As we wandered around Kolontár we enjoyed the incredible clean and well-ordered village. People were busy gardening, shopping, and working. A local meat truck pulled up and people came out with their shopping bags and purchased beef, pork, and lamb. 

The local church was situated on a small hill in the middle of the town. We walked around the grounds and saw a few gravestones. The ground was covered in buckeyes. And the church bell rang on the hour.

This bus stop was quite nicely built. After chatting with our hotel host, we found that the weather in the last 10 years hasn't been very snowy. Still, this will keep you warm when the wind is blowing.

The villagers looked just like my relatives. It felt so comfortable to walk the streets and pick up buckeyes. We returned to the cemetery to take more photos. This extended family member died in the war in 1916. Unfortunately his 2-year-old died as well while he was fighting in Albania.

Each of these individuals are so precious.
