Chain gang - Hungarian style







































As we move comfortably into Fall, the leaves change and fall around Tata.  Enter the Tata chain gang… actually, I don’t know exactly what they are – but all over town, there are people of all ages, raking and cleaning up garden beds in preparation for winter.  They leave the piles of leaves, and come back the next day to rake again.  I can’t tell if they are different groups of people, or volunteers or what, but it’s been great to see all these people taking ownership of our town.  If only I could speak the language, perhaps I could help.  Meh.  The top picture has some of the gang - their vests say "Tizta" which means clean and "Tatáért" which means the city of Tata.
