To read your explanation that they are memorial bronze sculptures was a surprise, and very sobering. The fish made me smile again...as did the rest of your pics. Looks like a wonderful trip.

I have just gone to see the website that you linked and hubby and me bot read it and contemplated this atrocity. <br />But the indoor market was fab. Even the building itself is beautiful.<br />I totally understand you losing your sense of direction. That's why I alsways get a Little tourist map of the city, usually provided by the hotel reception. Then I list all the things we want to see and we make a 'route'. But you did manage to see what you weanted.<br />How cool is that ricking horse! Elizabeth will be thrilled.<br />The fish made out of drink cans is fun and a good way to recycle the stuff.<br />I loved the photo of the train at the end. I ñlove trains and love traveling in one. Lucky you. Was it an overnight trip, or is the Austrian border not far?<br />Your drink and ice cream look very yummy. You must have been sooo tired!<br />I hope you will have more potos next time. I love arm chair traveling.<br />Happy belated T-Day,<br />LiscaLiscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055538730629891703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548733713996961552.post-64456391542265562432018-10-17T17:40:47.009+01:002018-10-17T17:40:47.009+01:00The shoes are so sad.

So anyone who linked after Eileen gets this apology message. <br /><br />OIMGosh. I want that rocking horse. I am having serious withdrawals after seeing it. Thanks for taking a photo of it.<br /><br />My internet friend Sami spent three weeks in Budapest a few months ago, and she explained about the shoes. I think sad is a KIND word. I think horrific, painful, atrocious, and sadistic when I see those shoes. I feel for every one of those victims, and even though I have only read the story and seen photos, I am moved to tears. The artist who came up with the idea for this sculpture truly knew how to tug at your heart strings.<br /><br />To walk around the corner and see the lighthearted and gay drink cans is almost seemed out of place.<br /><br />Your lemonade drinks and ice cream look tempting. Thanks for taking us through parts of Budapest and sharing these wonderful photos as well as your drinks with us for T this Tuesday, which is now Wednesday. BTW, this is probably my favorite photo of T I've seen.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548733713996961552.post-68112214521897894782018-10-17T07:25:10.382+01:002018-10-17T07:25:10.382+01:00Fantastic impressions of Budapest!
