Towards the end of our visit to my parents' haz in Budapest, we went into town for the annual Mesterségek Ünnepe... aka the Festival of Folk Arts.
It. was. huge.
I mean massive. Booth after booth of artisans winding all the way up Castle Hill, each one practicing a traditional Hungarian craft. It seemed as if each booth had a unique craft, and many of them had stations where kids could try learn how to do the craft as well. So cool.
So what did we buy? Well, I'd love to tell you - but it would spoil the Christmas surprises for our nieces and nephew! On that note... joyeux anniversaire, Renae!
Weaving baskets
Yup. That would be my parents.

This is just a very small section of the craft fair

Wandering Budapest one evening
But now we're back home in Lyon (more on that later) settling back in to the routine... and already looking forward to our next trip to Budapest at Christmas when Chris and Kate will be there too!

I think it's a luck to live having the possibility to keep one foot in a city/country, and the other one in another city/country.
You are so beautiful.
Look forward to hearing how it's going being back home.
And we are already looking forward to the Christmas visit as well!
Love,
Kate
Joyeux annniversaire, Renae!!
On a completely unrelated note: Kari, today Tina and I watched this french film called Breathless (A bout de souffle) by Jean-Luc Godard for my literature class, and the female lead (Jean Seberg) in the film reminded us of you! We both realized this at the same time, and I thought I'd let you know :)
I hope you had a good time in Hungary!
The picture of your parents made me giggle, but it speaks volumes. The one of you and Jonathan is très cute as well :) Glad you had a great time!
