My favorite building in Budapest

This is the Parliament Building, located on the Pest side. It is incredibly elaborate, and incredibly big. The top version with the giant cones was taken on St. Istvan's day, and those pylons comprised the course that the stunt pilots had to fly between. They're similar to those air-blown giant snowmen you see in people's yards at Christmas, only bigger. Anyway, the botttom picture is a sunnier version. of Parliament. So Beautiful!

Here's to Pops! Happy Birthday, Dad! I know this is a little late, but I wanted to honor you with a picture on my blog, my present to you =). This was a great memory, the long-sought for zmrzlina! Love you!

Touchdown

I have been officially in Europe for two weeks now. My passport can vouch for that, as I now have stamps from Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and my new home, Budapest! I spent the last two weeks with my dear parents travelling around the Czech Republic visiting our old home and reconnecting with old friends. It was such a rich time to be back there and see everyone again. We ended the trip back in Budapest where we met up with a missionary from Boston and his translator, and they took us to a Hungarian house church and then for a quick tour of the castle hill in the city. Our friends from Kenosha who now live just outside of Budapest then picked us up from the school and gave us a couple more days of sightseeing. This family is my newly adopted family. They were the ones who took us to the airport, where my parents and I exchanged a tearful good-bye. It was such a great time travelling with my parents, and I am so thankful for the connection they now have to where I'm living and the people I will be involved with. And I am also so grateful for the people who I already know here. I am certainly being looked out for.

This is just an intial posting to get my blog set up. So more pictures and details to follow!
