"Did you find Rachel? No, but I found gelato!"


Lesson of the Day: Don’t get separated from the group (7/9)

Yesterday we took a two-hour bus ride to the city of Pecs. So far it has been my favorite stop of the trip. The town was very quaint with small shops, delicious gelato, and interesting museums. After lunch we visited the Belvarosi Church (a mosque that was converted in to a Christian church) and then headed to the Csontvary Museum. Right before leaving the museum we noticed one of the girls was missing from the group. One of our professors, Dr. Dorraj, said he would go back to the church, look for her, and meet us at our next top—The Roman Cemetery and Early Christian Chapel. Somehow the girl managed to find us again and it wasn't for a few minutes later that our professor returned... with a scoop of gelato. He explained to us that he tried to find her but came up short and believed that he should reward his efforts with some icecream. Deep down we all knew he only volunteered so he could leave the group and grab a dessert. What a goofy guy. We all learned the importance of sticking together after that.
