Hungarian Parliament at Night Budapest

How we spent our 6 days in Budapest and Prague

Posted on August 6, 2018November 11, 2018 by Stephen Stapleton

Budapest and Prague comprise the epicenter of a twentieth century gone mad having endured World Wars I and II and then the forced usurpation and subjugation of the populace by the communists following the Second World War.  Unimaginable but very real historical horrors abound. In 1939, 125,000 Jews, as “defined” under the Nuremberg Race Laws…

Landscaping as Homeowners: DIY!

Posted on May 28, 2018November 11, 2018 by Stephen Stapleton

A number of years ago, Jacquelyn and I bought an old house.  Built in 1915, the house came complete with walls leaning precariously into the adjoining street, one dilapidated bathroom for three upstairs bedrooms and ancient, stained carpeting covering up (mostly) beautiful floors, hardwoods alternating with decaying plywood. We tackled the inside of the house…

The reputation is inaccurate.  Paris is…
