Wok N Roll with us...Bob and Teri Along with Atlas and Kalani: Kalocsa, Hungary August 24, 2023

The Assumption Cathedral in Kalosca was first built in 1050 the first church was built; it was destroyed several times over the centuries. The current church was built in the same location between 1728 and 1774. The two figures at the front of the church are of kings Stephen I and Ladislas I. While here we were treated to a beautiful Organ concert. I love the sound of a beautiful organ when it fills a church.

While in Kalosca we also got introduced to some of the Hungarian Cowboy culture at the Bakodpuszta Horse Farm. Horses and cowboys have been part of Hungarian culture since Central Asian tribes arrived on horseback in the Middle Ages. These horses were trained to lie down in tall grass to hide from battle, and saddles were made to slip off easily so riders could act quickly. Demonstrated to us were medieval horsemanship games, speed, and quick turns that were required while soldiers fought with whips or lances.
