Pest crumbles...

16.October.2016

"When I arrived, I wrote: “getting lost, children playing behind me under willows. A different language, some screams under leaden skies, no rain. A taste of sour cherry sweetens my mouth as I look about… Pest crumbles. Historical facades rebirth in the joy of its offspring.” 10/13 K.E.

3 days in not enough to visit cities like Buda & Pest. Got to see soviet statues, Szant Matias church, the musical fountain. Did lots of walking, little eating. I like the Bella Hostel, would stay here again. Figured out how to use metro/buses, but mostly I walked. Best way to get to know a place! Off to Beograd in the morning. Not halfway through my month long trip yet. Some days I feel old & tired. Have met lots of nice people though. I always do! *star* Hostels? Ack. Prague 7.5 Bratislava 9.5 Budapest 9.5. Y’know … a smile is a wonderful thing to behold … so is competence. Peace, Kåre

Sent this from Budapest to Tom in Minnesota.
