by Richard E. Sarosi

I grew up on Buckeye Road in Cleveland, Ohio, and our street was very much like the Váci utca in Budapest. Hungarian was the language I heard a good portion of the time as a child. Our local bakeries, butcher, fall festivals, yards and gardens, clothing, worship services and cookouts all had ties to Hungary. I guess everything comes full circle in the way we do things. You can say that Hungary is in our souls, and this is what we share with all Hungarians, no matter where they live. I always feel like I am home when I come to Budapest and to Hungary. Even though I have visited there a number of times, I still experience many new things which impress me each time I visit.

Our WPA tour group visits the Reformed Great Church in Debrecen. Because of this church, some refer to the city as “The Calvinist Rome.”
