#212/365 The Good life

#211/365 Twin

I have one of those moments "they don't make them like this anymore" when I see this facade.

#210/365 Feels like holiday at home

As much as I like going to the beach/pool, but for me sitting for a drink or coffee with something to read are the best things about summer..

#209/365 Liverpool Suzuki Violin Tour to Hungary 2013

Liverpool Suzuki Violin Group is touring Hungary, and our town is their 4th stop. What a privilege is has been to have listened to them. Thank you Liverpool Suzuki Violinists and please visit us again! :)

# 208/365 Liverpool Suzuki Violin Tour to Hungary 2013

As city daily photo blogger, we always have to keep an eye for on-goings and events around the town. Just 2 hours ago we attended a concert given by the talented Liverpool Suzuki Violin Group. The above was when the group of young to adults violinists enter the Great Roman Catholic Church.

Tomorrow we'll continue with the performance of this group.

#195/365 The Carbonfools

I urge you to listen to this...

#194/365 Cafe Frei III

Remember in March 2013, the CDP theme was "cafe chair"? Our entry and "chairs" came from Cafe Frei ; which is located inside the library.

Guess what? Cafe Frei has opened another outlet inside a bookstore, in the one and only shopping mall in our town. The decoration this time, and I am only guessing, is Morocco. I have to admit, I go there to enjoy their interior and atmosphere more than their drinks. However, this time we both agreed that their chocolate hazelnut drink is good enough reason for us to come visit again!

#193/365 Fun time!

Fun time courtesy of verbau.hu at Wine and Pálinka festival 2013 !

#192/365 Plastic cups

#191/365 Look what I found!

As a city daily photo blogger, it's necessary to take different routes in order to have things to post .. ha
and the extra trouble is worth it when you discover something like this! ;)

The frosted glass is found at the right wing of the town hall's building.

#190/365 Best display

This stall is the only one paying extra attention to their products display at the Wine and Pálinka festival!

#189/365 what's in the sand pit?

See yesterday's post on the scale of the sand pit, sponsored by construction company : Verbau

#188/365 Break time

Around 2-4 pm is siesta time over here; hence, the deserted square where the wine and pálinka festival is being held. In case you're wondering, the green plastic sheet is covering the sand pit for the children.

#187/365 Bor és Pálinkaünnep 2013

Quiet before the start of Wine and Pálinka Festival July 5-13, 2013

Hopefully you can make it there!

 See Programme list here.

#186/365 Who is he?

Whenever I walk pass this building, the town hall, I study the details bit by bit. This time I found him plastered on the right "wing" of this structure. With this, I zoomed and read the text :  Rákóczi.
So, time for me to learn more about the Hungarian history.

Wiki :-

Francis II Rákóczi (name in Hungarian Rákóczi Ferenc)
27 March 1676 in Borsi, Royal Hungary – 8 April 1735 in Tekirdag, Ottoman Empire
was a Hungarian aristocrat and leader of the Hungarian uprising against the Habsburgs in 1703-11.


Update:-
Thanks reader Sala for the correction :)
Sala commented that the figure is actually either Rákóczy György I or II , links provided below ...
