The Bears of the Goblins!

After a long hot Summer and a beautiful Autumn, the Bears of the Goblins
in Paris are exhausted!!  (see earlier blogs) 

The iconic Nounours are resting up for a new Season.

They will be back I'm certain next year.

Hungarian Revolution Remembered

               1956-2019


On 23 October 1956, Hungarians rose up en masse against the Soviet- installed
communist regime.   For ten glorious days, Hungary thought they would prevail 
in their epic Fight for Freedom!

Sadly the Soviets counterattacked and the Revolution was crushed and Hungary
was returned to a reign of terror.  By November a gloom descended which would only
totally pass in 1989 when Hungary regained its sovereignty.  

The picture above shows the Hungarian Flag, the communist icon torn from the
center.   This flag symbolizes 1956.  The Anthem of the uprising was Beethoven's
5th Symphony!


Remember 1956!
