Serenity Temari

 This is a gift for a friend who's a big Firefly fan.  The idea is that it mimics the Serenity Valley flag.

Lunch At Moaburger

 Our friends had told us that Moaburger was very good, so we went.  The company is from New Zealand.  I found the burgers huge and the staff friendly.  They even changed up the burgers without fuss.

See The Salt

 All the gray walls in the mine are salt.  It's all food grade salt, even.  They let you lick the walls.  Anyway, it doesn't really look like salt until you shine a light on it.

Fobbing Along

I took this with me on our trip and got some more of it done while in the hotel room in Budapest.  It's a quick little thing.

Milkshake For Breakfast

 It was a rainy day and there was a marathon starting at the square, so we decided to breakfast at Cafe Marius.  This place is just off the main square and claims to do breakfast .... my baguette was full of veggies and chicken and bacon.  Andreas' breakfast, outside of the milkshake, was more traditional.  His little waffles were beautiful and evidently tasted good, too.

Beautiful Restoration

 One room on the miner's route that is not on the tourist route is currently undergoing restoration.  It was originally carved out for a royal dinner back in the early 1800's with a bunch of literary figures.  The chandelier, as you see, is in its full glory.  The obelisk is currently being restored along with the rest of the room.  There's an orchestra balcony and the room is large enough to hold a ball in.  Soon, I hope, it'll be put to its former use.  We could tell the difference between the two times we visited.

 

 

Outlining Again

I'm outlining the diamond in algerian eyelet stitch now.
