We are having a great trip with new experiences every day. The children were very excited to see us and they remember how to play Bingo and Uno. They are doing well on the flash cards and we are picking up some Hungarian, Ukrainian and Russian. What we speak here is a true mish mash.
Nicky, the 12 year old who came with us has made a great friend, Josef. Nicky is definitely ahead of us in the language department, and is very good for all the kids to encourage them to speak English.
The children enjoy playing cards so we taught them the simple game of "garbage." We also brought baseball gloves, bats and balls and are trying to teach them baseball.
Our hosts are wonderful. We have been very welcomed and the food is delicious. We have fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and good bread every meal as well as other good things. We have had stuffed cabbage, potato casserole and breaded chicken cutlets.
On Tuesday we went to Szenevír, a national park with a deep lake. Swimming is not allowed there. There is a legend about star crossed lovers. We enjoyed shaslik (a meat kabob) at a restaurant there. On the way home, we were trying to get pictures of different things like haystacks, farmers in the field and cows with there herders.
