The Taste of Summer in Hungary


Cherries are the taste of summer in Hungary for me. I know from this day forward, any cherry I eat will bring me back to a lazy summer day spent in the Hungarian countryside. There is something so relaxing and carefree about strolling down a quiet street and picking a few cherries here and there and watching the seeds slowly roll on the pavement after you've enjoyed the sweet fruit. Or when invited into a friend's home, spending hours on end chatting in the garden and picking (and of course eating) cherries to make the company and conversation that much sweeter. Cherries have been present during so many of the wonderful memories I have made in the last month or two. It makes me happy to know that something so simple, a cherry, will help bring back these memories and allow me to remember the amazing people I have met here, time after time.
