Still about March 15. When we do not deal with rioters this holiday is very nice. You can see “Huszár”-s on their horses and in their very attractive traditional uniform in Budapest. There is still an official “huszár” regiment (or a batallion I dont know) within the Hungarian army but only for representative reasons marshing up and down with their shiny horses on national holidays. And I love them:) Other Huszár-s you can see among guys who like to replay old battles. They have a website: www.magyarhuszar.hu the photo I posted is from that site.

Today is National Holiday in Hungary. We celebrate the anniversary of the Hungarian revolution and freedom fight which started in 1848 15th of March in Buda. It has been one of my favorite holiday with hussars (this word comes from the Hungarian huszár), horses and with the fresh wind of the spring.
I write this post on the 14th a bit before midnight. There is tension in the city. Nobody speak about the revolution in 1848, about Sándor Petőfi the young poet who stand up to the stairs of the National Museum performing his enthusiastic poem. The big quesion today… is if the rioters will be back, if we will be again the first on the NEWS tomorrow evening?………….
