Dinner was followed by a toga party. This doesn't happen every night, only every 3rd or 4th night.
Measuring the rice with my homemade funnel. About 4 cups in a liter, right? And I think my water bottle was half a liter...it all worked out in the end.
I gave him this haircut.
Relaxing on the deck which overlooks the backyard jungle.
Hostel Bathroom
Hostel kitchenJamie with his two-liter bottle. The wine tasted like vinegar, but we drank a lot of it anyway, cultural experience, right? On the way back someone thought it would be funny to blow out our lanterns. It took us ages to get out
.
After wandering around the labyrinth for about an hour we finally found the fountain in the middle. It's a wine fountain. We stayed there for quite a while.
Going underground to the labyrinth. This was the only lighted part.
There was a traditional Jewish orchestra playing in the synagogue I visited. It surprised me how cathedral like the synagogue was.
The Roman baths were actually very good. I spent a full day soaking. You go from one pool to the next, each one hotter than the last, until you work your way up to the steam room. It's impossible to breath in the steam room; I couldn't stay in for more than a minute. After rushing out of the steam room you jump in the shocking cold pool. Very refreshing!
View of Parliament from the China Bridge. Budapest used to be two cities separated by the river. One was called Buda, the other, Pest. A few hundred years ago they merged into one super city, Budapest.

Friends from the hostel. We had a common interest in very large sunnys.

It looks like staying at the Youth Hostel is a blast: kind of like college dorm life, without ever having to go to classes.
Big Fun!
Hi Lucy,
REally enjoyed your last two posts. I wish every young person could experience the concentration camp. After every war we say "Never again!" And then we turn around and do it all over!!
What a great experience you are having!
We leave Sedona Thursday for Seattle for Sean's wedding on the 9th at Lake Quinault!
Allen and Sylvia
