Late November

November 17-23. Monday and Tuesday were pretty normal. Holocaust Lit at 10, Culture class at 1, and Art History at 6 and then Poli-Sci at 6:30 respectively. Wednesday was dinner at Cor and Mar’s as usual except this week we had tacos and a guest! Our guest was Szabolcs, who was a friend of Robbie, a tour guide on 2 previous group trips. It was nice getting to know a little about him because Thursday through Sunday he joined half of our group as we ventured to Croatia with Robbie and Janos. Only half of our group went on this trip because the other half, including Corwin and Marilyn, went the previous week. So, 9 of us ventured to Croatia where we experienced lots of new things. While we were there we planted trees, watched the musical movie Hair-which I am a big fan of, visited a museum to learn about the Turks invasion in Hungary, saw slideshows of the regions we were visiting, played with Hungarian/Croatian kids, saw monuments and churches, saw a trashed Hungarian museum, learned about mine fields, learned about Yugoslavia and the war of the 90s, ate the traditional fish soup of the region, ate chicken gizzards, ate a venison soup, and drank and talked with some local Hungarian-Croatians. It was a very busy 4 days, but it was also one of the best trips I have been on.
