pictures from the train
Some portraits on the train from last weekend's trip to Budapest, including a fantastic "if your face was frozen like this forever" picture of Patrick while angry.

New washer
We took delivery of the new washer yesterday after. Marina's grandparents bought the old washer in 1988, from compensation vouchers given to her grandfather for the time he was imprisoned as a POW in Russia after WWII. The old washer held up and was still running strong after 20 years, but the centrifuge weakness, power consumption and the heavier work load were taking a toll. It has been retired to a more restful lifestyle at Marina's Mom's apartment in town here...

Townviews and an organ
Yesterday they had something called "Heritage Day" here, which is probably really just an attempt by the National Office for the Protection of Cultural Heritage in Hungary to polish its tarnished image. In any case, two of the many programs we went to were a visit to the church tower at the St. George church downtown and a showing of the organ at the same church. The organ was built in 1633 and is one of the oldest in Central and Eastern Europe.
