The city from the top of a Zikurat

Zsolti enjoyes getting on all the different kind of public transportation in the city.
Capital of Hungary, Budapest is divided into 2 parts by River Danube and 11 bridges connects the two parts together. ( The latest one was just barely built, even new for me.)
The development of the city is very much visible in the souther region of the city where the new National Theather stands.
2 years ago the glass buildings behind Zsolti were not there yet.

Lake day

Finally the weather became hotter... so the natural waters became little warmer too. This summer first we could visit one of our favorite place with my friend Elvira.
Zsolti enjoyed splashing too. He even found a little friend for today.

Grill party with friends

Most of my friends became moms and dads through the years. Now some of us got together for a fast grill party. It is not easy to catch up 2 years. :)

The rainy days continue...

My poor brother was not lucky this year. He spent his only one week holiday for the year, at the inlaws house mostly because of the rainy, stormy weather. Good thing that he loves his motherinlaw who cooks wonderful dishes for him. Not even his motherinlaw cooks great but his fatherinlaw is an excellent cook too.
We were lucky to enjoy some of their foods too.

Trip to the parents of my sisterinlaw

I got a kind invitiation from the parents of my sisterinlaw 2 years ago after I moved to the US. Now we could visit them on the other side of the country. The weather was very sad when we left Budapest, so we could only hope the rain will stop by the time we got to our destination.
By the time we arrive, the little kids were already hungry so they started the family lunch.
Today Zsolti had to deal with 5 girls on that day.

A very very long time friend of mine

In a real friendship there is one thing wonderful... you can keep continue even after 5 or 10 years just like you saw each other last night.
Judit is a friend like that. We grew up together and spent lot of time together, now our lives sail different ways but we still like to know how is everything. It was a wonderful night we spent together I had a chance to recall my memories about John and how we got together. :) While we shared stories the rain washed the streets of Budapest.

Pusztavacs - In the middle of the country

Some of our relatives lives in the middle of the country. The country was torn apart by the decision after the war Hungary lost 2/3rd of its territory. In 1960 geographist located the middle of the country and that was the time when Pusztavacs became famous.

In 1978 an architect created a monument for the exact location close to the village. In the 80's there were Peace festivals there, I participated in some of them. We found old photos about one of the festival. This tradition stopped in 1985 because lack of organization
