Árkád Shopping Center

As you have no doubt noticed, we've been doing lots of shopping lately. This happens partly because this is the season for such things and partly because it has gotten cold and we've run out of compelling things to do outside in the face of that.

So, we have discovered a different mall that is very large and very nice called Árkád (Arcade).

We finally visited the Kozma Street Jewish Cemetery on a day when it was open. It is quite an amazing place.

The cemetery is wooded and we walked along several tree lined lanes that were filled with autumn color.

We made a trip, via three trolleys to visit the large Jewish cemetery  (Kozma utcai izraelita temető). For reasons that we never sorted out (that pesky language thing), it was closed. Perhaps we'll try again. But, to salvage the day, the Új Köztemető, the New Public Cemetery, is just next door. So, here is the first of a two-part report on our visit to this cemetery.
