Vaci Utca

We spent the rest of the afternoon just wandering around, as is our habit, first to a craft-market near the synagogue, then down toward Vaci Utca, one of the main pedesrtrian shopping areas.

Fixer-upper Art Deco

Nice Art Nouveau all around, although not as prominent as

in Prague

All kinds of nice buildings to look at

Vaci Utca; we have, at length, figured out that

utqa means street; ter means plaza or square;

fortunately, many people, especially younger

(as is always the case), speak pretty good

English

Which is good, since there is not so much as a phoneme in

the signage or spoken language we can understand
