Hanging Out with Huba
Although he’s not really old enough to be my grandpa, Dr. Huba Bruckner sure feels like one! He has been a really wonderful and cheerful Hungarian host. He invited us over to his apartment following the folk dancing presentation we saw the other night. The apartment is surprisingly large, with a beautiful view of the Danube and Parliment right outside his balcony. As we all rushed out to take pictures, he warned us, “No more than four at a time on the balconies, please!”Â
His daughter and wife are equally gracious–Mrs. Bruckner offered to carry my offically “heavy” bag up the escalator steps at the airport, and I look forward to getting introduced to the local hangouts with his daughter tomorrow night. I’ve heard that Hungarian men are internationally regarded as excellent husbands, but I will only be looking on behalf of my single friends.
