It is late and I am pretty tired... I am meeting lots of interesting people here, many friends of friends. At lunch today I made a quick hike through the old town and up to the castle. Eger is famous for being the first Hungarian town to mount a successful defense against the Ottoman Turks when they invaded in 1597... though they eventually captured it. As such many Hungarians come to visit the castle and honor the famous siege. There were a number of Hungarian Boy and Girl Scouts there when I climbed up the hill. Views are looking at the castle from the town square, than vice versa.
