This keyboard is so weird, being the traditiolnal Hungarian one that is, I no longer find the right way to type, and Y and Z are changed places...argh. Weather turned laast night with lots of rain, so it is clear but cold today and might even get snow tomorrow night. All is spiffy, and if we manage to charge the digicam's battery tonight, more pictures, too. We went up to the Castle today and met a grey crow in the middle of the street (damned keyboard STICKS too)...
Just a brief checkin from an Internet cafe: we are in, we are reasonably well-rested, currently walking around and getting reacquainted with the city. It's cold, but will get colder by the weekend. Taking pictures, but no way to upload until either visiting my cousin or getting back Stateside. The city is cleaner and somehow smaller than I remember (I guess five years spent under Texan sky does that to you)...and did I mention it is cold? Wonderful!
Well, I have a huge pile of stuff to be stuffed into suitcases tonight (NOT earlier, wrinkles setting in are narsty to get rid of), a raspberry-chocolate flavored coffee in front of me (YUM!) learned that it looks like there will be NO strike at the Budapest Airport when we arrive (phew!-there was a fleeting possibility union negotiations fail by Monday, but looks like hey agreed on whatever they had to agree), did all last minute pseudo-Christmas shopping to all Hungarian relatives...now just have to convince The Husband to start to pull his stuff together as well--
Hopefully tonight I'll remember to puit up some pictures from my brother-in-law's visit; then I need to start making the dreaded Packing List i.e. What to Take With Us To Hungary? The weather forecast for next week is...um...completely normal for this time of the year over there: rainy all week, around 50 degrees max, and 30 at night. Yippee. That, of course means rainproof gear, long coat, warm sweaters etc., of which I only have a limited selection (this is DFW after all; we had a cold front today which pushed the temps down to ::gasp:: 70 for max). So: need time to consider, select and possible get 1 or 2 extra turtlenecks this weekend. Flight leavs Sunday afternoon...
I do not rant on this blog. I like it to be a little island of inconsequent and insignificant little things that impacted my litle life or someone else's who is dear to me. Thus, no rants in public. But, my dear Readers, today I give you a rant first (than later, maybe if I am better, I will post the one about the happy things I discovered this weekend).
