7/24/2008, Keszthely

Lest you think we are basking in the glow of a loving sun sucking back swell suds everyday, yesterday we got to experience "viharos szél" accross the lake (that's "stormy winds" for those of you not in focus winds). The winds got up to 100 kph (around 60 mph), the rain came down sideways, quite a day. Vera ammused herself by making one of my favorite Hungarian foods, these little savory biscuit thigs that are really swell. You can eat them by the hundreds, and we did. Somewhere in the middle of this she advised me, "you. drink. beer." And so I did. Maybe it wasn't such a bad day after all.

After watching the trees blow sideways for a while and my mom saying gee i bet the lake is really wavey , i asked Dave if he wanted to come on a walk with me.. ( he walks miles and miles every day , me not so much) he was game , we put on our rain jackets and grabbed the camera and off we went... all was well till we walked out to the pier .. there the wind nearly knocked me over as I tried to pose for the obligatory picture ... Dave got to pose as well... hardly a soul was out and about and those that were gave us funny looks .. Stupid tourists .. if they only knew.
