Many of these edifices are still used as homes today. The people of Sumeg however are survivors and the community continues to prosper to this day. We took the opportunity of our visit to walk around downtown. We stopped at a quaint coffee house to have a cup of Java. The people were warm and friendly and were curious to find out where we came from and what we thought of their castle.
