We arrived in Budapest yesterday. It reminds me of downtown Vancouver or Seattle...dirty, dingy, dusty. NOT my favourite city! Nice to hear from you, Theresa! And mom and dad of course.
I am in a McDonald's right now. they have the cheapest internet. Today we went on a city tour. A little more impressed with Budapest than my first impression, but still not my favourite city.
i've tried to typethis message three times, so hopefully this one will go through!
It's hot as Vegas in August here, but there's no aircon anywhere! Tomorrow's a holiday, so everything will be closed. There will also be a loud airshow along the Danube (we've seen and heard the previews) and fireworks that we will be able to see from our (tiny!) window...we think. We will be no where near the river. This is Hungay's biggest holiday.
I should go, though. To make sure this works!
Have fun, hope the rain stops for the PNE (although on the one English station we get - BBC World - they say it will rain forthe next few days), and see you in less than a week!
No more messages until London Tuesday or Wednesday.
Luv,
Trace

HI TRACE !
I don't think you will check this message whilst in Budapest, but I noticed that your hotel in Budapest stated they had airconditioning--if you read this while there ask them if some rooms have it.
Went to Highgate yesterday and won three times!! I won $70, $100 and then $175, for a total of $345--I sure was happy!!! Have a good time -- hope you find some fun things to do and see!!!
Take care and next stop is Jolly ol' England. I know you will all enjoy it---Look out British Museum Tracy is coming soon---wish her Mother was too!!!
Lots of Love, MOM AND DAD xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
