A Sunday afternoon in Martely ......

I could not resist a picture of this fellow ironing ... it is a first for me!!!

















The little cottages are all built on stilts as the river floods in early spring ..





Another gorgeous sunny, albeit windy day in Hungary! I hired our private student Livia's dad, Arpad, to drive me to Martely (pronunciation is Martay) for the day .... Arpad has a taxi service in town. Martely is a small, primarily summer cottage town, although there are a handful of people who also make it their full time home, most are weekenders looking to commune in nature .... the Tisza River and beach ... yes, a river beach!! .... are the chief attractions for most. Another beautiful relaxing day, exploring the countryside ... a wonderful break from the hectic pace of the volunteer week .... enjoy the pictures :)
