Memories Galore ♥️🇭🇺💚

What a special day. Another hot one so we headed into the mountains where it's a bit cooler.

We stopped off at Felsőtárkány on our way. It's only 14 KMs from Eger. We often went there for a quiet walk around the lake.

Once in the Bükk mountains we sometimes stopped at a particular place in the first which had nice views over the mountains. A planetarium was being built right by there. It is now finished.

We had to stop for workers trimming trees for a while but finally got to our destination.

Lillafüred was one of our 2 favourite places to visit when we lived in Hungary. We went on our own a few times, even stayed in the hotel one time, and came many times with missionaries when they were new to the area. It is so picturesque. Absolutely a picture perfect place. We have never seen so few people walking around the grounds except maybe on one winter trip in the snow. We had the loveliest day with lots of "Remember when..." moments.

Instead of returning to Eger by the very windy road we drove on to Lillafüred (hardly any straight stretches) we drove around the outskirts of Miskolc. We ignored the freeway option and came home through Mezőkövesd. We saw lots of sunflower fields and it's almost time for the flowers to bloom. We might be just a bit too early to see them in an their glory.

Late this afternoon Russell went out to meet with his friend Eugene. They became friends during the English classes we were involved in and have kept occasional contact after we returned home.

Our day ended with dinner and a walk before it got dark.Read more
