Budapest

For the first time in my life I wasn't with my family for Thanksgiving. It wasn't as bad as it could have been, for one thing I was in Budapest, Hungary, and for another I spent it with girls who have become like family to me. We left for Budapest Thursday morning at 3 am- it was about an 11 hour car ride-with stops and Hungary is an hour behind Romania so we gained an hour. Thursday night the students went out and found a place to eat Thanksgiving dinner. We found a place that was decorated like a submarine and if we had gone after 10 it becomes a dance club. Which explains the music in the background and my favorite quote of the entire trip which came from Amanda 'Nothing says Happy Thanksgiving like 50 cent' Friday we spent exploring-which pretty much means we just did a bunch of walking, but Budapest really is pretty. Saturday we went to a museum about the Holocaust in Hungary. Then immediately afterward we went to a mall to eat dinner. We left Sunday morning at 8 and didn't arrive home in Sighisoara until 9:30 that night. I always forget how exhausted you can get simply by sitting in a car all day.

Me at the Fisherman's Bastian, which has no real purpose, it just looks nice.


















Me with the Parliament building on the Pest side of the Danube River in the background.














Heroe's square at 4:30 in the afternoon-yeah the moon was out then.













Under no circumstances are you to hold a small child's hand.












One of the buildings we went into had different exhibits-this one was called the immortal blue jean. I wish I were kidding. There was also a back room that was almost completely dark, the radio was playing and all around the room were large blue jean bean bags.
