Welcome

Message from Peter Toth:

"St Stephan, King of Hungary: June 2008, I finished statue #73. This is a very important statue to me, as it is my first one on the European Continent. St Stephan was the first King of Hungary, around 1000 AD, and he introduced Christianity to the country. If not for him, there would be no Hungary today." It is located about 20 miles from Budapest, in the town of Delegyhaza. It is in a Park dedicated to King Stephan, adjacent to the Post Office."

At this time in my life, I have completed my tributes to the indigenous people of North America, specifically the Native Americans. It is now my calling to provide memorials to the indigenous people of the World. Presently I am engaged in creating replacement statues in various States as well as reconditioning others. However, the World will still remain in my plans for the future.

Bora Bora

What a beautiful setting for diving. A tropical paradise!

Staying in an overwater bungalow at the Bora Bora Hotel, which was the most exclusive hotel on the island, the view was of the Bora Bora lagoon.

The dive shop delivers all your equipment and air tank by a boat, to a landing at the bottom of the steps to your bungalow. One just has to step off of the landing into the lagoon to enjoy and explore the sights!

To dive beyond the lagoon reef in the ocean, it was necessary to report to a pier area to board a boat. At that same pier was a bevy of French girls sunning themselves, topless! Needless to say, it took me an extra long time to arrange my gear and stow it on the boat. They were oblivious of any attentions.

The diving at the ocean side of the reef turned out to be too rough to attempt, so the dive was consummated inside the lagoon.

The lagoon at Bora Bora around the hotel was rather sterile and uninteresting. The scenery, however, made up for it.
