To have been in Esztergom at Easter in 1934 must be heavenly, but I'm sure that Easter there today must be lovely. I stopped in Esztergom while riding my motorcycle around Hungary in 1995. I pulled over to take out my map, and a lovely lady heard me and opened her courtyard door and told me to park my motorcycle there. She bade me to take a break and have lunch with her and her husband. We sat down to a long, roughhewn table where she served salami, cheese and a little wine. Because of the wine, she told me I couldn't get back on my motorcycle and instead she insisted that I go explore the town. It was magical for a twenty-five-year-old suburban American-- the Basilica and the other churches and the baroque architecture of the town. To this day, I have this idea of a perfect existence when I am old walking to church on Sundays in a town like Esztergom. Happy Easter! Christ is Risen!
