The last day of our trip was filled once again with Hungarian history and beautiful sites. We first went to one of the famous battle sites from the 1848 Revolution against the Austrians.

Hungarians signing a treaty with Austria.
The Hungarians lost the Revolution. |

| A monument to the 1848 heroes. |
 |
| Special grave markers for the 1848 Generals. |

A monument that symbolizes an eternal flame
for Hungarian soldiers who have died in wars. |

Looking out towards Lake Velence.

Our next stop was Lake Velence, which is the third largest lake in Hungary. However, according to our teacher-friends the lake may actually be the second biggest soon. Since the second biggest lake they said is drying up.
Once we were done looking around the lake we got back on the bus and headed back to Debrecen. We really enjoyed our trip and getting to explore more of the western part of Hungary. We think that perhaps the western side is prettier, but the eastern side has the nicer people. :)

When we got back to Debrecen we saw more hot air balloons in the sky.
Can you spot them?
Perhaps they were welcoming us home. :) |
Wow that sounds like an amazing trip!! And nice charade words, those sound hilarious. Oh and Dana, I've seen you tipsy, I can only imagine you drunk, wish I could have been there to have seen that. :)
