Tomorrow is 20th August all Hungary is going to celebrate. St. Stephen’s day is a public holiday when we celebrate the foundation of the Hungarian state 1000 years ago and also it is the day when the new bread is blessed.
More than a 1000 years ago the `Magyars` conquest the Great Plain and settled in what we call today Hungary. This wonderful little country has been expanded and shrunk many times during the history. Once upon a time three seas bordered it shores and today it is classified landlocked. We all, every single nation in the world carries a thorn in our heart. Either we admit it or not, but on one hand we all secretly admire those times when we broke the waves and sailed with the wild winds and on the other hand we put our head and heart in the sand as the legend of the sailors fade away.
I didn’t do any studying today, but had a really good chat with my wonderful friend Rory and spent time with my little niece and nephew.
