Budapest, Hungary

Wow, it's easy to get behind on blogging! It constantly seems like there's so much to do with so little time to do it! Here are my updates from the last month:
Budapest:
A group of us went to this unique city over our three day Easter weekend.  The most impressive part is along the Danube River.  It is lined with buildings, trees, and people.  We crossed the Chain Bridge several times which was quite an experience! The bridge is huge and, no matter where you look, the view is marvelous. On Easter Sunday we briefly visited St. Stephen's Basilica.  It was yet another magnificent church and so full of people.  No matter how great the building, though, I missed spending this special holiday at home with loved ones and in an English-speaking church service.
Most of my weekend was spent with Yolima.  We had a wonderful time wandering around Budapest on either side of the river and eating at American restaurants: Starbucks, Subway, Starbucks, TGI Fridays (and we are not even ashamed).  Yoli has become a very special friend, and we had a lovely weekend!
