Budapest was pretty awesome!  The food was some of the best I've had in Europe overall and it seemed like you didn't have to hunt very hard to find it - it was all delicious.  The castle and parliament straddling the Danube, the overly ornate buildings, the bounty of good food, and the thermal baths were awesome to explore over the long weekend.  The Red Bull Air Race was there while we were there, so that was pretty unique.  The planes raced up and down the river, through obstacles and under the chain bridge.  It think the city would be neat to see in the Fall too, since the heat was probably my only complaint!

The little town we live in is odd.  There are some parts that are really quaint and look hopeful to be something good or interesting, but for the most part it just seems like a ghost town.  I took some pictures on a walk, conscious that I'm only going to be here for another month, and snapped some pictures of the cuter details.  This was on a Saturday at 2:00pm and no one was out... like usual.  I don't know where they all hide!
