#130/365 Europe Day 2013 May 9th

Yesterday marked the 63rd anniversary of Europe Day, also known as the Schuman Day. Overall, it was a low key event, held outside the town's library. There were info. on EU, quizzes, children's activities performances, and the favourite table football.

Although it was a nice event, this day should have been celebrated with more significance; so that more people are aware of the day. Admittedly, we only found out about it by accident!

#129/365 Domes and statues

Unlike other cities, we have no high rise buildings. What we offer is lots of domes and statues for your viewing pleasures. :D The one you see here belongs to the property of The first Piarist friars.

#128/365 Hygieia

Her name is Hygieia (Gyógyítás). She was the daughter of the God of medicine. As a goddess, she represented health, cleanliness and sanitation. So, no surprise that I found her outside the hospital at Izsáki út.

#127/365 From the ground up

I'm just glad that we still have signs of spring despite the hotter than usually weather.

#126/365 Serene

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the local market, I found this serene painting; which I hadn't noticed before. Well, I say let's have more arts in the market!

#125/365 Old with new

Have never been inside, perhaps one day...

#124/365 The one with green and yellow

Wish you a relaxing weekend!

#123/365 Skyline

#122/365 An oldie but a goodie

One of the attractions for me during the May 1st celebration (see yesterday's post) . These tanks are in rather bad shape; hence, I figured that I should capture it for my archive before they change it to something generic.

#121/365 Happy Labour Day

We're running late today because we took part in the Labour day parade. This was how the streets looked like just a few hours ago. Thankfully, the weather is sunny but not too hot, so perfect for outing and I have to say we enjoyed ourselves completely. Can't wait til next year.

I'll be inserting more photos later in the day.

These kids were dancing on and off during the 2km parade

They start young!

some start even younger! she is in traditional  Hungarian garb.

I have to say I was fascinated with this instrument!

There she is again :)

Cars waiting for the parade to cross; so, man on stilt went and tease one of the car's passengers

Too old to hold this; but truth is I wished I'd bought one!

I want that horse!

One of the events on the water to keep people entertained :)

Traditional Hungarian cooking over open fire. This method of cooking is called "Bográcsos"

Men on stilt taking a deserved break.
