Amphibious tour vehicles have been around for a while. However, most of the ones that I’ve seen are “Ducks”–the converted DUKW military amphibians. In Budapest this winter was the first time I’d seen one that looked like a run-of-the-mill tour bus–at least as it was tooling down the Danube. (Granted, most of my travel is in the developing world, so maybe these “buses” are old news throughout Europe and North America.)

DAILY PHOTO: The Puppy Who Didn’t Know How Much He Could Chew
Taken in December of 2014 in Budapest in the City Park (Városliget)
I watched this little dog carry this stick across Budapest’s City Park. He set it down once, or maybe twice, to regrip it in its teeth, but otherwise it kept trotting along. The stick was about 1.5 times the dog’s length and about the diameter of a woman’s wrist.
The expression goes, “Don’t bite off more than you can chew,” but I applaud that this puppy was willing to shoot for the stars.

Terror Háza is a museum of the atrocities committed by the fascist and communist regimes in Hungary. It is housed in a building, Andrássy út 60, that was used by both those regimes for torture and imprisonment of dissenters.
