We sometimes find people in front of our house taking pictures. Of course, we are always flattered, but we don't usually interfer or even admit we watch them. But, one day when we drove into our courtyard and saw a family taking a picture, Marianne "chose" to walk near the front, just to be snoopy. That's when she heard the language the vistors were using and decided to ask, in Hugarian, if she could help them with their family picture.

Naturally, they were taken aback at a Pommersfelden villager addressing them in their native langauge. As it turned out, the xxx family also spoke excellent English so even I could join in the discussion. Mom and dad were delivering their daughter Noemi, a skilled floutist, to the annual summer concert series before they continued their German travels to various acedemic symposiea that xxx was part of. We managed to squeeze in a dinner later in the week and also saw Noemi perfrom a couple times. The evening with her as a soloist was most impressive. We hope she and the family return again next year.
