Hungary News

A lot of great news has been coming our way lately, and I have finally had the desire to blog it all. So we got our placement, and not only is it in Budapest but it is at the same elementary school! We have also been put into contact with the two very nice teachers whose lives we are essentially taking over and they have given us great advice, as well as sharing with us some photos of our apartment.
And here they are!




The balcony (which I am thrilled to have), the kitchen and the living room. Jack and Cathie have also suggested that we take over Cathie's volunteering at the local animal shelter which is just a few blocks from our apartment. She walks the dogs every so often into the wooded area around the shelter. We are in Ujpest, which is the very northern part of Budapest along the Duna. It has a very interesting history and is quite industrial as far as I can tell, but has a neighborhood feel to it.
Aside from all these great new developments, we have been playing too much WoW, studying some Hungarian and most recently doing some concept art for my Dad and Ann. Time seems to be flying and crawling simultaneously.
