We found a Fokos!

No one but my father knows what a Fokos is, but he sent us on a mission to find one here in Hungary. It's basically an ax attached to the top of a cane- a traditional weapon in this part of the world. Well my dad wants a Fokos and so I thought the biggest flea market in Budapest might be a good place to find one. We headed to the burbs to the Ecseri flea market this morning and asked around for a Fokos. Amidst antique chandeliers, furry Russian hats, and even some sickening Nazi paraphernalia, one guy actually had a Fokos.



Unfortunately that Fokos seemed a little flimsy and not worth the hassle of figuring out how to get it back to the USA without getting arrested. When we come across one that is worthy we'll make sure to get it home somehow.
