Adding the cafés to the mix, for me, added singles and those past the age of taking children out . . . there were many couples our age <i>sans enfants</i> (<i>sans</i> skateboards too!) and we all seemed to enjoy being in the presence of such exuberance.<br />Tiffany: Something's def. been going on with Blogger -- I've been using Google Chrome for my browser and having more luck, but before that the whole photo-upload deal was a problem -- feel a bit bullied by the Blogger/Google consortium!<br />Sounds as if you have an abundance of what I'm talking about here -- and the weather to enjoy it!<br />Terri: I was surprised at how mainstream it is!<br />Alison: Ah! The London parks! We loved them, and we are so impressed at how well used they are -- they really give the city a lively air.<br />Lesley: That's crazy! Makes you wonder how many of such coincidences happen without our knowing. Not just the stuff of fiction!<br />Patricia: Those city spaces sound wonderful as well -- the energy they support really adds something to a city's character, don't you think?<br />Duchesse: I love the sound of that wall -- skateboards as art!<br />I think we're all looking for new ways to move, especially as gas prices go anywhere but down. . . and yes, the weather's been spectacular. It's down to 14 (high) today, but expected to reach the low 20s again on the weekend. Stellar!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-85550975210612023062011-03-30T07:02:31.437-07:002011-03-30T07:02:31.437-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-38552051224135622072011-03-30T05:35:58.945-07:002011-03-30T05:35:58.945-07:00Reminds me of a French friend's daughter's...Reminds me of a French friend's daughter's apt. (Paris). Everyone in the family has at least one skateboard; they are mounted on the livingroom wall like an installation! Seeing more and more of those scooters here, plus an upsurge in electric bikes. <br /><br />Looks like you have had spectacular weather.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-80184369298980003142011-03-30T04:34:39.817-07:002011-03-30T04:34:39.817-07:00I've been having the same trouble with comment...I've been having the same trouble with comments as Tiffany, but will press on. In Budapest there are a myriad of places to go, especially in the Buda hills. However, there is also an island in the middle of the Danube (Margit Island) which is just gorgeous, with swimming pools and cafés and a running track around the island. There are also some parks on the Pest side. I just got back from Berlin, where there are lots of green spaces, including palace grounds and the like, for people to spend time in, not to mention all the wonderful architecture and history to admire.

Loving all your pics and stories. <br /><br />And, yes, we have plenty of spaces like that. There's the famous Bondi Beach, where we used to live, with a great skate bowl just behind the promenade, and lots of parks throughout the city where you see families cycling, walking, picnicking, etc. And we now live right next to a 62-hectare waterfront park, so we're a little spoilt ...Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536212906241844509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-32483264034236869482011-03-29T18:21:16.417-07:002011-03-29T18:21:16.417-07:00It looks like a lovely scene!

I love it when families come and set up all-day picnics on the weekends. Some bring volleyball nets or have softball or kickball games in the baseball diamond. No nearby cafes though!Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.com
