We recently saw an exhibition of 'The Eight' at the Fine Arts Museum which was a marvellous tribute to those early impressionist painters in Hungary who, unlike their French contemporaries, did not rise to such fame or fortune.<br /><br />Your hotel has such a wonderful panorama of the Danube, absolutely beautiful at night when all the buildings are floodlit.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102162146315706774.post-62149421079316952852011-09-05T10:54:34.516+01:002011-09-05T10:54:34.516+01:00Right, I have found C19 and can picture where you ...Right, I have found C19 and can picture where you are. I adore maps (and memorabilia as you may have deduced from my own blog!). I stayed at the Marriot on the river when I was there, and stayed more or less in the city centre.

I'm fascinated about life in Hungary and always thrilled to read and see more of the U.K. as well. When it comes to memorabilia, no one can never have too much. It can conjure up memories that have been on a shelf for many years if not decades and it can bring us back to a place in time in a split second. In most cases, it's important to not forget how those before us lived life. <br /><br />Be safe and again, I look forward to reading many more of your great posts. <br /><br />Cheers ~ DebDumbwit Tellherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148671166061931241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102162146315706774.post-48017354928560785432011-04-11T14:00:32.256+01:002011-04-11T14:00:32.256+01:00A Super Dilettante:
