Walnuts

Yesterday, we went to Gabor and Julia’s house on the Buda side.  They have two boys, Balint and Marci.  They have a Walnut tree… and a bunch of other stuff to see including a fox that comes by every night.  Here I show dad what a walnut looks like when it comes off the tree.  He didn’t know.  He thought walnuts come from the store. I taught him to put these in a cool dry place for several weeks and then open them and eat the nut inside. 

Tihany / Balaton

Two days ago we visited Lake Balaton to pick up my bike, as it was too big to fit in the car a week ago.  So we went back. We took the long way home.  Took the ferry across the lake and went to Tihany.  Ate ice cream at Mom’s favorite place, went to the echo area, and walked around.

 

 

Ancient Volcanos

We had to return to the rental house at Lake Balaton to pick up my bike.  It would not fit in the car with the rest of our stuff.  Here I am getting some last minute bike riding in before heading back to Budapest.  In the background, you can see on the north side of the lake, the extinct volcano remnants that were last active several million years ago, when the area of present day Hungary was covered by a shallow sea, known as the Pannon Sea. These hills, now covered with grapes for wines, were volcanic islands of that sea.

Lake Balaton

For 3 days we had winds and storms and some boats sunk. Here is one.

All of us... and the Plane

I know I don't look happy, but I am just tired.

The view...

From the back seat, this is the view that I had of Budapest and Sly.

More Flying

Another one from my day.

Slying.... I mean Flying...

Bogi is Mom's friend since school. She married Sly. Sly fly's planes
and helicopters. Today Sly took mom, dad and I for a plane ride. It
was relaxing and very cool I saw Budapest from the sky.
