A day of facing Communism and leaving our Hungarian friends...
 |
| The Parliament House |
 |
| Ronald Reagan honored for helping to end Communism in Budapest |
 |
| Controversial WWII monument construction in Freedom Square |
 |
| Memento Park- statues from the Communist Regime removed from around the city & relocated here after 1989 when Hungary embraced a free market economy |
 |
| Edina's family had one of these cars-the Trabant- The body was made of recycled material similar in feel & durability of cardboard! |
 |
| Union of Working Youth (Pioneers) eventually known as the Hungarian Young Communist League. All 14-26yo youth had to participate. |
 |
| Edina remembers passing this monument every day at school as a young girl. |
 |
| House of Terror- a memorial museum for victims of the Fascist & Communist regimes located in the building/prison where they were detained, interrogated, tortured & killed. * Edina took the boys to an indoor playground while Gabor, Matt & I toured this.* |
 |
| Saying goodby to dear friends... |
 |
 |
| Thank you for your wonderful hospitality Gresz Family! We love you & hope to see you soon- |
