Three Postcards from Hungary

These three number among my favorite artifacts of my Budapest days.  Most of them I found near Hősök tere, the square of Heroes.  This is the same place we went when Hungary entered the European Union, May 1, 2004, when a toothless and purple-eyed Shane MacGowan serenaded the Magyars into the union.  I think I found them in the basement of the Szépművészeti Múzeum.
