Destination USA…

Szabadsag Szobor

Finally, the Day has arrived. We are heading back home afterStatue of Liberty having spent close to a month in Hungary.  I and the dogs have had a wonderful and memorable time.

 

But I am not very fond of travel-day drills. Early rise, check luggages, check all paperwork, coordinate with the car rental place, checking, double checking, triple checking… ticket, dog papers, passport, vallet etc. Than the worry about traffic, parking at the airport, the glove compartment, do not forget the phone charger… anything under the seat.. ?

than the juggling act of moving the dogs, crates, luggages into the building, check in the dogs, than the emotional farewell from my sister and niece…

…It is always so hard… all those memories of 50+ years hit you again…love, passion remorse, regret,  panic and the separation anxiety…it is so hard to part from each other…

than I check in, turn around, look at them one more time… I always save these last pictures for the flight. Then the quiet walk to board the plain in the tunnel, the moment to compress all recent memories…  Get my seat, peak at the people seated next to me and wait for the departure…

Where is my drink…?

ready to jog.m Lets go mom...

just out of bed and ready to jog.  “lets go mom…”

Life starts returning to normal.  The dogs slowly bouncing back and demand increasingly more attention.   Although, we jog every morning and also visit the grassy knoll between the high-rise buildings of the housing development where the local pet dog population hangs out, Fruska and Agyag seem to be out of touch with the current urban canine trend.  I think they really miss the farm.

Since Fruska’s fertile window, is fast approaching, I’ve decided to extend my stay and wait out of her breeding, so I do not have to leave her behind and we can return together to the U.S.  This change also allows me to visit some kennels,

old friends and places holding great memories and most importantly spend time with my sister’s family in Budapest.

We have been exploring both sides of the Danube and keep diving into the flavorful and dangerously rich culinary abyss of the City. I wonder how much my gravitational point will change from the sins of these uninhibited dining escapades… (Sir Isaac Newton would probably say, “eat a bloody apple dear…”) 

is your shrink out of town? or just want to take a peak of your more complicated darker side...? than prepare a huge feast and check out this great movie that I've seen back in the early 1980's at the "Film Museum" of Budapest
