This photo was taken (by photographer extraordinaire, Mark Milstein of Northfoto) in Vienna in front of the Habsburg Palace which you can read more about in a recent post covering our trip to Vienna.
Place of the Week
This photo was taken, again, by Mark Milstein in front of the Godollo Palace just outside of Budapest. This palace houses a Queen Elizabeth, or "Sisi", museum because she frequented the palace. For more information, check out the more comprehensive description in an earlier update. One thing we did not include in the earlier post, which is quite interesting, is the fact that during the Soviet Occupation of Hungary Godollo was used as a horse stable! It's strange to think that such a beautiful palace could have ever been used by animals!
Additionally - in this photo with us is Emily Milstein, Mark's daughter and a previous "Person of the Week". Read her interview below.
Word(s) of the Week
The words "push" and "pull" proved to be useful in Hungary. We didn't want to spend minutes at a time pushing on a "pull door".
So...for future reference -
Push - Tolni
Pull - Huzni
