The situation in Hungary is truly awful. I can't even imagine the toxicity of that red flooding goo.
We had the chance to visit Hungary last year, mostly Budapest (where we had a magnificent view of the Danube from our hotel room) as well as some of the northern countryside as we made our way to Prague from there. We fell in love with the country and would love to return.
So many of the people we met were friendly, but there was also a formality present with them. There was also an awareness of the tragedies of WWII and the fate of so many Jews. As well as a whimsy in some of the architecture. Truly a richly tapestried country.
I sure hope they can contain as much as possible of the toxic tide that has invaded their area. It just goes to show how fragile our world is and how so much of our modern ways can damage it.
Maybe we should return to some of the old ways of doing things. But I have to admit, I would sure miss electricity and computers!

The idea of working on historical sites, with the "old" ways of doing things is fascinating to me. I learned something from this particular blog about picking the sites for mills.
As for the storm and its results, I sure hope life is starting to flow more smoothly for you now. Take care.
