I have to confess I've been waiting and looking for this piece. A friend of mine traveled eastern Europe in the 1980s and told me it was like being in a black and white movie. LOVED reading about your perceptions of Hungary and Europe in general. The pics are great! Vietnamese food in Hungary? Now that would have made my eyes pop (I am a bit of a foodie at heart). And now I sit here resenting my age and my inability to travel the way I did when I was younger. Damn. LOL..... Thank you Lucy. This was a joy to read!
