Good luck figuring that one out, friend.
In the week after SpeakOut, my dear roommate, Flora, organized a rather splendid foray to visit some different areas of Hungary. What was so fun about this adventure was that our group met up with friends in each city who showed us around and very graciously provided places for us to stay. Here is a one-picture-per-location tour (I hope you feel like you were right there--jammed in the tiny communist car--with us):
Budapest: The Children's Train
Yes. Everyone working on the train is a "kiddie-choo-choo!"(or at least that's what I called them--in my head). We rode the train for a bit and ended up on a The photo is of my friend, Timi! I was so blessed to be able to spend this time with her and talk about what God is doing in our lives, especially since we don't get to see each other that often!
Visegrád: Renaissance Palace
If this is going to be an accurate report, we spent more time attempting the perfect jumping picture than enjoying the actual palace. There were palace poses, jumping shots, and photos from the summer toboggan run we went down. In the end, I decided to give a shout out to the ladies...you too can vault into the horizon with the flash of a camera.
Natural air conditioning. Sensational.
Miskolc: Swim Like a Mermaid
We met Márk in his hometown where we went to the sweet local pools there...and then we got to stay at his Grandma's apartment! She was so kind to us :]
Eger: Peti, Marci & Sanyi
These guys are great. If I was stuck on a deserted island, these are the fellows I would want with me. Whether we were being eaten alive by the bugs, eaten alive by the sharks in the water, or eaten alive by the tribe of cannibals we stumbled into, the experience would be entertaining--guaranteed.
Jeremy and Bogi (the car) drove us on this expedition, and poor Bogi was the butt of many jokes before the journey even began. When I would tell people of our plans, they would generally start laughing and wonder how much time we would spend sitting on the side of the road...O ye of little faith...
...she lasted until Eger.
But it was just the clutch! We took a slight detour back to Budapest, got it fixed, and then continued on to...
Kalocsa: Flora's Hometown
Two things: Horse show and Kira (the sweet little sister, who gave us hand crafted artwork, and, unbeknownst to anyone, had walking pneumonia--maybe we shouldn't have teased her so much...).
As with all good things, this sojourn came to an end and we all, eventually, made it back to beautiful Budapest.
Where it was, and is, and will continue to be hot.
