Out and About in Budapest

I was doing homework all weekend and only left the apartment for breakfast and dinner - had leftovers for lunch.
 Today I roamed and got lost. Yes, really and truly lost! Luckily, kind Hungarians guided me back to Andrassy Ut. My bearing street and what a street! The buildings are beautiful; the problem is slowing down and looking at the detail. I love the doors, too. I will do a post on door later. Here is a new find
 today.

Dragon Proof in Finland

reima claims to be dragon...water proof and after finding out what reima stands for - glad it is dragon proof. Reima is a line of children's clothing.
Arrived in the airport near Helsinki, Finland and found this ad:

...and this adult was pleased to find 2 Starbucks in the same airport - one on each floor. After a coffee I felt dragon proof.

Spent a few hours in Helsinki searching for a lunch place and enjoying the downtown area. Cold - yes it was winter, wind blowing NW cold. I was wearing a wool casual jacket and was comfortable. Locals had on winter type coats and kiddos also had hats and gloves. It was refreshing and am pretty sure the local have other winter coats for the real winter ahead.


Then back to the airport via the bus and on to Budapest.

You Never Know Where You'll Find A Guinness Ad

Today met a friend for lunch at The Hub, Tacoma, WA. I am a creature of habit and drive the same route, park in the same area.... Today was different - on my way I saw several parking places a block below the restaurant, so pulled in and found a free parking lot. Surprising!!
The rain was flowing; I was prepared to dash, although when I got out of my vehicle and turned I spotted this mural on the side of Doyle's Public House. Whipped out my iPhone. I love Guinness and love Guinness ads. We still had lunch at The Hub, but now have a new spot to check out.
