Eric and I finally had some time to ourselves in Sopron, Hungary. We got there new years eve. Our hotel was on top of the hill so we had an amazon view of the fireworks. Unlike our safety conscious American version of fireworks, in Europe everyone apparently sets off their own fireworks display. And not little ones either. So Sopron is a smallish town, but there were spectacular fireworks in every direction. We drank our $2 sparkling wine (that was actually really good, go Hungary), and watched fireworks till we froze. it was fun.
New Years Day we went in to the old town of Sopron. It is one of the few towns in Hungary that wasn't destroyed in the war, and it is charmingly shabby. On New years day though, it was spookily empty.

Sopron's iconic fire watch tower. Under renovation, of course.

One of the cool things about this town is that it still has its ancient town wall. And here is an excavation of the old Roman town that started at this site.
