Time sure flies by!

this past weekend we celebrated our two year anniversary, wow has time sure gone by and who would have thought we would be here two years ago! Not us! We decided to head out to Eger for a night after being told it was probably the nicest town in Hungary to visit. Eger seems to be the most tourist geared place in all of Hungary but luckily we went in the slow season and got to see the sights with out all the tacky tourists, oh hold on I guess we were those! Anyways we strolled through the narrow streets saw their famous castle and went and looked at some neat wine cellars. The weather cooperated with us so much that as we got to the train station to go home thunder, lightning and rain pounded down! The rest of the time it was beautifully sunny and hot! Eger also boasts the northern most minaret, its the furthest north the turks got before being pushed back and eger castle is famous for holding them off. Apparently the castle and 2000 men held off a turkish army of 40-50 thousand, the hungarians were supposedly helped by the superior knowledge of explosives. The picture beside was captured up in the castle, it was to funny to watch, i guess she figured "what better way to show my friends back home the advancment of weapons then by posing like a seal on it!"We also saw this same family later on as we ate dinner, this time she posed as the statue of liberity, very hungarian i must say. Only minutes before the cannon pose scene we had been sitting on one of the castle walls and suddenly we being whistled at, and I'm not talking about a normal whistle it was like a referee whistle, and a guy yelling "nem szabad" at us, apparently sitting on the wall not allowed posing on cannons like a beached whale no problem!
Lynnette also spotted this scene and declared it a bloggable item. I explianed to her that in hungary laws against false advertising were very strict and they we making sure you knew what the glasses looked like with eyes behind them! She would have none of that though. You think this weekend could be a reflection of our marriage? At times we are just strolling along enjoying the sights, and at times you just gotta stop and pose, theres always funny sights along the way, and a lot of enjoying each others company, oh ya and then we got a fine for getting on a reserved train without a reservation, hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come.
