Things that I see in Budapest

Where to begin.....I've got a lot of thoughts running around in my head but what to blog about. I read several other blogs and am intrigued by the variety of offerings. Some days as I am out and about in Budapest, I think I should list the things that I have only seen in Budapest ( of course, everyone realizes that I'm from Donahue, IA and that is part of the reason, I only see these things in Budapest).

Sprinting for the tram in high heels

Many people of all ages, walking, catching the bus or tram, carrying their grocery bags

Christmas trees on the tram, being carried by the purchaser

Grandmothers pushing babies in strollers or carriages.

Grandmothers getting on trams or buses with little children

Baby strollers with rain covers

Moms with baby bundled next to them with a long scarf

Everyone wears a hat, scarf and gloves

Many women wear boots

Fur coats and fur hats

Little children with their ride -on toys on the sidewalk, and sometimes, getting on the tram with Mom, of course

Everyone carries bags or backpack

Egg cartons with 10 holes

Liter containers of milk

Flour sold in 1 kg. bags

Dogs in restaurants (not seeing eye dogs)

Statues in every park, sometimes more than one

Man bags

Chestnut roasters (during the winter)

Sidewalks made from cement blocks( that way when they have to remove them, they just take out the blocks they need and then replace them when they are done)

Pumpkins, new shape but oh, so sweet












My vegetables for roasting plus a head of

cabbage/lettuce like chinese cabbage, only

round

Pictures of the market - isn't it beautiful!!
