what a beautiful and COld day!
we are staying with friends, just outside of Budapest.....where to begin!
So much has happened and its only been a week and a half!
WOW! talk about adventure!
today we took a walk that led to a great panoramic visa stretching out to include budapest and brakislaw ?
and ohh the bakery!!
Lisa took us to a local bakery- we got delicious rolls for our lunch tomorrow and a true LOAF of bread- massive! It felt like i was carrying a baby in my arms! We are going nuts for hungarian butter and bread- it is quite a delectable treat!
I wish i had my "i love toast" teeshirt from the blackbird cafe!
There is a mystique about breathing in cold fresh air, twinkling stars, staring up at the dark night sky and several bright cathedrals in the not to distant horizon.
bathed in warm water.
ohhhhhh!
we also explored an old Abby-that is still in use by monks today.
BEautiful archietecture, stories of royalty using it as shelter, homage to St. Stephan and
ohh the library! Literally several hundred THOUSAND books.
it is public, so i'm in heaven, if only i could read in hungarian or russian.
Floor to Floor shelves stacked with books!! My kind of place!!!
YOu could feel the old. a certain sanctity-past and present, must be recognized.
we are all just travellers, passing through.
