Fun: Back to the Bükk

Just a quick blog--I'll do more when we return from a trip to Prague. We've had visitors this week, and one day trip was a return to Szilvásvárad with my sister, this time. We both like horses, and wanted to see the Lippizaner Horse Museum--unfortunately, it was closed. But the Lippizaner Stud Farm was open and we got to see the 1 and 2 year olds (black ones below), who will turn white by the time they are 3. We also saw beautiful carriages and sleighs on display. Wish we could be there for the big horse exhibition in July!

We also hiked to the Fatyol Falls, and, on the way, saw the wood carved statue above. Help me, Hungarian friends, who is he and what's the story? I didn't take my Hungarian dictionary in my backpack!
