This Old House by the Lake Judith Petres Balogh

After retiring from the US Department of Defense (DoDDS), the author moved to Hungary at the time when the Iron Curtain came down. The decision was painful, and the move incredibly difficult- and funny. She and her husband found a world vastly different from the one they left behind. Sadness, hilarity, frustrations, perplexity, and triumphs were all part of this astounding experience. The tales of the locals about Communism were eye-openers. After all goals were achieved, retirement finally did turn into the Golden Age, which is the ultimate desire of those, who care for their future. The book gives proof that the dream can come true.
