Yesterday it was Lucia’s day. According to the Julian calendar, the night of Lucia, December the 13th, was the longest night of the year. But on the 1700s the revised calendar placed the winter solstice on the 21st December. In traditional celebrations, Saint Lucy comes as a young woman with lights and sweets. Just like our sweet Lucia, the light of our life.
Last weekend we went to Budapest. We enjoyed the city during the light hours (not many) and the night life too. It’s the 2nd time for Lucia there, but I guess she didn’t notice. It was sunny during the day, but freezing too. We had planed to go to the night baths; only possible on that weekend. Apparently once a year they empty the waters from the public baths, to get the place clean for the new waters; and so they allow these night openings, when you can enjoy a drink or more in a bathing suit. Sounds fun but also not very hygienic to be honest… Friday we had diner at Absinth’s - nice food for a reasonable price and a couple of absinth’s included in the menu. On Sat we went to Goa’s, fusion restaurant where we had good laughs and ... ta tatattaaaaaaa Palinka – Hungarian fruit brandy. But as responsible new parents that we are, we drank with moderation :). And yes, it is possible!

This weekend we are staying calmly in Prague. It feels good to stay home with the family and enjoy the simple things, baking a cake, relaxing in a nice warm bath, playing with Lucia… Now we’re all in the sofa, and for the first time, Lucia stoop up with no support at all. Her legs are getting stronger, and she’s having a better control of her balance. It’s amazing to follow her everyday-progress from so close. And I love it when we both mom and dad can witness it.
