strollers + graffiti

this is what we looked like strolling down the street for a while, but that stroller is just way too big and bulky for budapest - too heavy and awkward to pick up and it doesn't fit very easily through the narrow doorways here. so, matson graduated really early to the umbrella stroller...

much better. way easier to maneuver and pick up. the buggy board, which reese stands on, is now attached to the maclaren stroller. it's great. she hangs on and can see where we are going and we all get to our destination a lot faster.


unfortunately the graffiti you see in the first picture is typical budapest. i'm used to it, but i still hate it. the city is beautiful, but it could be so much nicer if the graffiti was gone. i guess the best way to escape the graffiti and the hustle + bustle of city life is to look up. you just have to remember to look up. the part of the city that has not been vandalized with graffiti are the upper parts of the buildings. the architecture is beautiful and sometimes you can get a vivid reminder of WWII when you see real bullet holes on the buildings. okay, back to reality. look back down - one of your kids is either crying or running off. ha! :)
