Pics as Promised!

Hey everyone, we just uploaded some pics from our trip to Budapest plus some that we took at the Halloween party we talked about recently.

The trip was great. We left Thursday afternoon from Dublin and arrived at our friend Mike's apartment on the Pest side of the city that night. First thing we loved was how cheap everything is because they're still using their own currency, the Forint. They'll be switching over to the Euro in a couple of years, so in the meantime you can live like kings. A beer costs about a euro (about $1.45) and you can get a decent meal for a few euros.

Mike's been living there since August, and he really knows his way around the city, which is tough because it's pretty big. He was our designated tour guide and translator for the weekend. Good thing for us because Hungarian rivals Gaelic as a deer in headlights language when you're trying to order food or really do much of anything.

We saw lots of sights, went to the Szechenyi Bath and jumped in 100 degree water outside when the air temperature was barely 35 degrees and also got a massage, sang some "Sweet Child O' Mine" at a bar with Karaoke, and had a great time!

Happy Thanksgiving!
