Balaton Market – Káptalantóti Piac
We went to a very large market full of people. It was very hot, but the older parts of the market had large shade trees that helped a lot. I found a place to buy a coffee cup (in my signature color) We also bought a runner four our table. This area is known for…

House of History – Balaton
We are staying our first couple nights at a 200 year old converted farmhouse called House of History. Our room is in the loft above what was the barn. It has beautiful exposed beams, that you will hit your head on if you are not careful. David is at 3 whacks and counting. The roof…

We found this mountaintop restaurant as a small entry in the guidebook and thought it sounded fun. I took a screen shot of the map, you can see the switch back road we took to get up there. But this is not the way Google told us to go. Google very confidently sent us this…

Dachau
Many of the words I used here came from the information at the site, but feel so wrong. Prisoners implies something that doesn’t properly encompass the crimes inflicted on the innocent people tormented here.
