twenty-something years of "what have you been up to?"

best day ever budapest

Let me just say Budapest is ridiculous.

TDY housing, tolerable, huh? First time sleeping in a world heritage site, the castle district of Budapest.

We have to eat these pastries every morning.

Flowers for sale everywhere, lily of the valley, $1 a bunch. So many people carrying bouquets, the metro smells like flowers.

Then you have to look at this architecture all the time.

Even when you have coffee. And then musicians right by your table will start playing Strauss, which is such a bother.

Then you have to walk around the castle walls, then because you are always thirsty in Hungary, a glass of Hungarian wine at an outdoor cafe. Cheers! You gotta come back.

A few more of our pictures of Budapest here.

Oh how you suffer for your country! (Perhaps a tour of duty in Hungary should be considered?)

Budapest looks like someplace I would love to visit. My dads family comes from there:)

Once I stayed with the Head of the British Counsel in Budapest . . . a fabulous place on the castle hill overlooking the Danube . . . and there was a ghost in their house! Very cool.
