Project Term Blogger: Elizabeth P Today was an exciting day for the group, since we started our first day of biking! After a very informative tour of the Parliament and a viewing of the Royal Crown, we hopped on our bikes and rode along the streets of Budapest. This was very new for all, especially since none of us had ever experienced city biking. Listening to the sounds of the city while riding by the multiple shops and cafes made our time even more enjoyable. Our guide, András, helped us navigate through the gorgeous city and informed us about many different landmarks and the rich history. We visited Heroes’ Square, dedicated to the fallen heroes and famous Hungarians over the years. As we stood among the massive iron statues of former kings and saints, András told us about the significance of each person, further helping our knowledge of Hungarian history. After some more biking through the city, we reached the Budapest Opera House, where we received a private tour of the world famous establishment. The tour helped give us some very interesting background information before we watch a performance of Othello tomorrow night. For the evening, we embarked to the Hospital in the Rock Museum for another private tour. The museum did an excellent job of recreating what it was like in World War II, with multiple wax figures depicting scenes from the bloody days in Budapest. Finally, after a long day, we relaxed with some Mexican food and late night street dancing in Buda. Today was truly a day of firsts that none of us will ever forget.

Maybe I just can't see it, but I don't see the purple lip gloss...did it wear off or is that just for the chapel at ASH? We miss you, but it delights me to see you so happy. Take good care of Ms. Hehs and Mr. Van. Thinking of you
