Hungarian Rhapsody

So much has happened since the last blog.  I keep telling myself that I need to update more often, but when I have time to sit down and write I end up finding other things to do.  During our last week in Hungary, Montana and I went into Budapest one day on our own to go exploring.  We had a great time walking around and looking like complete tourists!  :)  We only got fussed at by local authorities a few times...  From wanting to take a picture of the US embassy to climbing up too far on a statue.  
We also were able to spend a couple more mornings at the school next door.  I truly believe that we might have helped to open some doors into that school so that further ministry can be worked.  The students were great.  I really wish we had been able to stay there a bit longer.  The school was having a special week of seminars and activities that kept the students busy.  I suppose that really worked out in our favor though.  The classes were only 30 minutes long so we were given free reign to talk to them during class.  We also had the opportunity to hear traditional Hungarian folk music as well as see folk dances.  Finally, on Thursday and Friday we were able to invite the students over to the RDC coffee house after school.  The few who came could possibly have brought more if we had been there longer, but maybe this will be an open door for the Fannins.  
Oh yes, I promised to tell you of the costume party on Friday night.  It was quite interesting.... I suppose if we had been able to speak the language it might have been a bit more fun.  We stood over to the side and very few people even attempted to talk with us.  I'm sure that I probably would have had more fun if I hadn't had a horrible sinus headache.  I went upstairs early but from what I could hear they were still going strong after 1 am.  I promised to post a picture, so here it is.  I'm posing with Erik, one of our friends from the school.  I was glad that I could create a costume of things that I already had with me.  
Saturday we were able to go back into Budapest one last time.  We went up to the Citadel and saw an amazing panoramic view of the city.  I've got a few pictures of that as well.  Afterwards, we took Krisztina out for lunch to thank her for putting up with us.  Then when we got home we started the packing sequence once again.  The joys of travel....
I think rather than making this a huge blog I'll end here and begin a new one with London.
