Kalocsa, Hungary
The first settlers in Hungary were Magyar horsemen from Central Asia about 1500 years ago. Today we had the opportunity to experience a traditional Puszta horsemanship show. None of the horsemanship has been lost and the riding and costumes were fantastic. The featured rider stood on the back of two large white horses as he galloped a team of eight circus-style. It was all a great show
The Hungarian plain is much like the Central Plains of the USA, but nearly all the local discussion is about paprika, although anything can be grown there.
We ended the tour with an organ concert in the local cathedral. It was truly an astounding performance.
Another evening of great food and great entertainment. We are really making friends on the boat.
