They should call it BudaREST (Budapest, Hungary)

Meg:

'Sup guys.

So we woke up in Rome at some CRAZY time like 3:30am to take a night bus and an airline shuttle for our flight around 8ish. We landed in Budapest and made it to our apartment. 

Day1:

Peter opened the door and showed us our paradise. Here is a link to his place on airbnb.com where we stayed:

This was our favorite apartment so far. If you just looked at the link/pictures, you're feeling jealous and you should. It was such a fun place to stay and everyone who goes to Budapest should stay there because it's awesome. Anyway, we dropped our stuff off and he gave us a recommendation for lunch while he finished tidying up the place. Here is a picture of my empty bowl of goulash because the full bowl didn't last long enough to capture. You'll also get a glimpse of our mostly-empty cups of mulled wine (which is just allllllll over Europe right now for the winter season-DEEEEEEE-lish). These we kept full longer because we wanted to savor every sip. mmmmMMMmm

Also, did you notice the fleece blanket on my lap? They had them on every other chair at this place and it was just the coziest! After that meal, we did a little window shopping but retreated back to the fun apartment quickly because it was getting chilly and we didn't pack winter coats! But don't fret! Check out the next day.

Day 2:

You can hate us if you want, but in Budapest we spent most of day 2 watching movies and shopping for winter coats. First of all, we were dead tired and about 4 days from then we were going to start a month of class that we assumed was gonna be pretty grueling (this turned out to be true, so I'm glad we rested). Second, we realized we could finally buy winter coats because we were done flying and had the space/weight! So day 2 we have no pictures because we wandered in and out of shops and malls and then caught up on Gracepoint, watched the new TMNT movie, and both the recent X-Men movies on our new mini projector ($120 on Amazon and the size of a cell phone-SUPER investment Hardins)...our legs felt GOOD.

Day 3:
Super well rested, but still in lazy-days mode, we meandered our way through some Budapest sights. We didn't take the big camera, so this is all you get from Budapest, but DON'T WORRY, we'll be back. This place is gorgeous...
