Sorry! I have been busy! So busy that I haven’t had time to write about R and my trip to Budapest! I don’t think any words I write now will do our trip any justice, so let me try to paint you a picture from my personal daily log and pictures! Enjoy!

1. Flying to Budapest and seeing Balázs again! Meeting his sister Csilla and her friend Balázs. We got along with them amazingly during our trip and they were great hosts!
2. Their place is so awesome. The walls and music made both of us feel very comfortable…I felt very at home.
3. The breakfast Balázs bought was amazing: soft white ciabatta with butter and sausage paste…it was so delicious.
4. Going on top of Gellért Hill and visiting Hero’s Square at night. Oh yes, and we went to a café called Tranzit that used to be a bus stop.
5. Drinking Tatra tea and having some great dinner (pea soup).

1. Discovering more of Budapest by metro, tram, and bus. The city sure has a great transportation system.
2. Bázsi took us to a great fancy café above a bookstore! It’s like he read René’s mind and found the café afterwards…I think he made a Swiss guy very very happy today.
3. We went to the castle and then took the funicolare down the hill. Then, we crossed the bridge from Buda to Pest and walked along Agassi (I know I spelled that wrong) street.
4. René gave in and listened to my stupid idea of bathing in Szechenyi Baths. It was cold and we didn’t have sandals, but I am glad we did it!
5. We went home and the other Balázs made what I would call goulash and spätzli…but they have Hungarian names. It was delicious!
6. Afterwards, Balázs brought out five pieces of cake with a candle in the number 4. He also brought out champagne to celebrate my birthday. It was very unexpected and I was very touched–I will truly remember that moment forever.
7. I proceeded to get drunk off of wine, wine & coke (on Csilla’s advice), and spumanti. We joked and talked into the night about stuff I don’t really remember, but everyone was laughing.
8. I was exhausted when I got into bed…

1. More amazing breakfast. This day I also got to try Hungarian salami!
2. We got to the airport with some extra time to kill. Bought some postcards and wrote to Mom, Thranes, Kjersti, and Emma & Pauli. It was sad to say goodbye to Bázsi, but hopefully either they will come in August or we will go visit them and perhaps Lake Balaton.
