This is What My Life Has Come To

 

I don't think I expected to miss hearing English voices as much as I do.  Even just having background noise that's in English is somehow comforting.  EuroSport has been showing a dart tournament every night.  And we've been watching.  Pitiful!  Even more pitiful is that I had EuroSport on one morning as I was cleaning up...and realized it was a rebroadcast because I recognized the competitors.  Yikes!  Time to turn off the TV and pick up a book!

Sign of the Day

 

 

I spend a lot of time taking advantage of the gym downstairs while the kids and Tom are gone during the day.  The treadmill has this sign on it.  The translation ("Nobody with the sensor connected nearness"?) and the rather well endowed female always make me smile.

 

Who Wears them Best?

Tough call!

 

Cheers! (with ginger ale)

Tom is in heaven.  Hungarians love ginger ale as much as he does.  It's in most soda dispensers.  They never have ice.  But they do have ginger ale.

 

Notice the lack of other patrons? Not a lot of dinner business before 6!

Bowling in Budapest

It's hard having a big brother who can beat you at practically everything.  So when you beat him at  our first time bowling in Budapest, it's worth documenting!

 

The bowling alley is actually inside a mall here called Mammut (mammoth in Hungarian).  The only difference between this and American bowling is that the shoes are in European sizes.

 

Three spares for Miss C.  Second place never felt better.
