Tourists in the City

Well, I wanted to start off with a realization. Sometimes, it pays to pay more!



I decided to try another brand of toilet paper, which was a big mistake! The roll on the left is what it looks like straight from the package. The roll on the right is halfway into the roll. As you can tell, the ink on the paper has run and some of the sheets don't even have the design printed on it!



While we were in town, I saw this UPS truck and it made me appreciate the color brown even though it doesn't do anything for me.



This is another shot of Pop and Emogene with the MP3 player, only this time they were singing along with it! The song was by the Gatlin Brothers and the song was All the Gold in California. They are having so much fun together.



Today we "caught public" and went into town. We visited the Grand Market Hall.


One of the colorful booths selling paprika, a Hungarian favorite!



We ate at the Grand Market Hall for lunch and enjoyed sharing two bowls of Goulash Soup and two Big Fried Veal Chops (that's what the menu board said!). The veal chops were huge!!!


Pop and Emogene strolling down Vaci Street


In front of Hero's Square


Taking an ice cream break!



The flowers were beautiful along the road and in many ways, it looked like spring!



It looked like spring until we entered City Park and the huge trees were losing their leaves! It looked like fall, for sure!



We were all tuckered out on the ride home.



We had a great day in town and are relaxing in front of the tube tonight. We're watching a movie, and I wish I could show you a picture of Emogene as she laughs hilariously!!!!
Tomorrow is Sunday. Have a wonderful day of worship!

OK.. I just saw the article in the Atlanta paper about the Rubik's Cube competition held in Budapest. Did you go? Did you get to see the real, live Mr. Rubik? Did you watch the folks who competed BLINDFOLDED???? Wow, I loved my Rubik's cube back when I was in college, when they first came out. You know, back when we rode dinosaurs everywhere and had to make sure we had flint for the fire before we cooked dinner...!
And Cile, we are going to have KidsROCK team up with the South African mission team; we will do a penny drive that culminates in a donation for their trip next summer. And, you guys are on the list for the latest prayer and fasting guide for WCBC... hope you can feel all those prayers! We love you!
