Budapest National Fair

Last month I've covered the BNV (Budapest National Fair) where the theme at the time was improvements around the home. Some of these things were unique, others very tempting. Those of you who are aware of my yearning for a large(r the better) home, will immediately understand the photo below.

Take a look at this unique hamock. Yes, you could too lie in it all day! I know I could. It reminds me of the one tied between two palms at the Young Island Hotel in St. Vincent. I can feel the ocean breeze.

What an amazing tree this must have been and what a feeling it would be to curl up in this chair. The surface was polished to a silky soft finish and you were enveloped in hundreds of years within a tree trunk. You must have some pretty grand dreams in a place of such inspiration.

Long Week-End in Budapest

In remembrance of the 1956 revolution, Budapest is observing the 23rd as a holiday. It will mean a three day week-end for most people who worked today in order to make up for Monday.

Perhaps that is the reason for the light turnout at the district fair. Purposely stayed away from the political commentaries or photos, although at some point this week-end I may decide to 'treat' you to some.


The photos of the fare are far more colorful and less emotional. 1956 was of great significance to Hungary and Hungarians and being an emotional people, it is dificult to remember objectively.
