6-27
We went into Topolya this morning for the open air market. It is amazing how much more selective you get after a couple of years of doing this. The romance has worn off a little bit and you wander around looking for only the best stuff. We strike out today - although there was this cool bread box...
This is followed later in the morning with a quick visit to Bori and Lajos's house to chat. We also got to sample some of his gold medal winning palinka. Repeatedly. At ten in the morning. Ain't vacation grand! The commercial stuff he is making now is slightly less lethal than the stuff Peter makes. It is smoother in finish and features the fruit flavors a little more prominantly. The three glasses we had this morning didn't hurt a bit.

Lunch is at the home of Pista and Rozsa. Rozsa has a way of blurting out rather abrupt comments that have been rather hurtful to the ladies in my life in the past, but all seems to be forgiven today. Or so I am led to believe. Pista is one of Z's favorite uncles, because he had the farm with all the animals that she got to play with as a kid. She is always looking forward to meeting the latest animals, and has shared her enthusiasm this trip with Jaden, who can hardly wait to see them all.
Lunch starts with two more glasses of palinka - everyone agrees that Rozsa makes the best around. It is the big, lethal stuff that we have come to know and love. My notes get increasingly hard to read from this point on. Lunch was soup and some chicken thing for the carnivores, fried veggies and cheese for the veg. A very tasty meal, indeed.
