SUMMERTIME in Budapest and there are unusual sights to see.Just a couple of blocks from our place, around the corner from our parking station, next door from our local synagogue and around 100 meters from the main boulevard - there is a sure sign that summer has arrived. No, its not the fact that the temperature hit 34 Celsius today. It is when our local Queen of Sunworshippers is out there again, on the ledge above the local hairdresser's shop entrance.
Its a ritual, like Groundhog Day in rural America. Here we await the little old lady of Hegedüs Gyula Street, looking forward to the moment when she discards all superfluous clothing and when the sun is on her apartment, in the afternoon, she climbs out the big window and starts her sunbaking.
Yippee, its summer again!
