Johnnycake Mug Shots

My roommate Taylor’s younger sister Bailey and younger brother Brooks arrived in Budapest today for their spring break holiday. They have been here less than six hours and what a fiasco it’s been so far! Taylor and I finished work around 1:40 today and made our way home to quickly grab our bags and catch the bus to the train station, the train to Budapest, the metro to the bus station, and finally, the bus station to the airport to get Bailey and Brooks. The bus was not quite on the right schedule with the train..so we had to take a later train. Then, Taylor got hungry and I had to have a bathroom break, so we stopped by Burger King. By the time we made it to Bailey and Brooks, they’d been waiting forty-five minutes! We were frantically talking with them and Taylor’s parents on Skype (with our internet sticks) on the bus to the airport, assuring everyone we’d make it there. We made it! We made it! We bought eight metro tickets, hopped aboard the bus, and search...

The Szechenyi Baths – A Pleasure Seeker’s Paradiso

The swirling mist arose from the water, making the myriad of bathers seem a mirage. As bathers emerged from the pool, steam cascaded from their bodies, giving an allusion of warmth, broken when the bather began to sprint to his or her next immersion experience. The rectangular courtyard seemed to be fashioned of dreams. Three pools spanned its length, overseen by nymphs and goddesses, glistening and sparkling from their perch aside the pools. Multiple grand staircases gave entrance to the grandiose yellow palace, allowing hedonists to enter the pools, descend to the saunas, wander through the French doors for a snack, or deign to receive a massage. The ornate molding projects luxurious atmosphere, encouraging tourists and locals alike to pause and spend a day luxuriating like the ancient Romans and Turks before them. There are people of all shapes, sizes, and linguas, wading through the varied waters – boiling, warm, sulfur, medicinal, cold, ice cold, rampagin...

Thanksgiving Recap

There is nothing like being home for the holidays! Thanksgiving was not half as much fun this year! I couldn't go to Beth's for succulent quail or go to Mema's for sweet potato casserole! But! I did get to have two Thanksgiving meals! On Wednesday night, St. James held a Thanksgiving dinner complete with cranberry sauce! The dressing was nothing like we Southerners expected! It was Northern style - with croutons rather than cornbread! It was fun to explain Thanksgiving and our Southern American traditions to the Italians! One of my Italian dinner buddies creates crossword puzzles (as his profession!) and we came up with lots of words for his American Thanksgiving puzzle (hopefully pending!) I crammed for midterms the entirety of Thanksgiving weekend, and enjoyed babysitting some in between times! Friday night, Sarah and I had a ball going to the production of Peter and the Wolf at St. James - the youngest child I babysit for was the bird! The children were adorable, and t...
