I seem to start every one of these post apologizing for the delay. Anyway, a lot has happened here in the last couple weeks. Scott (my roommate) and I have had a lot of friends and travelers stay with us in our apartment, and it's been a blast meeting all these new people. We signed up for couchsurfing.com, and since then have been getting requests from tons of people asking for a place to stay while traveling through Budapest. Our most recent guests were a pair of French girls and an Israeli girl. It's amazing listening to them tell about their lives and their travel stories. The Israeli girl, Rebecca, has been traveling since she was 14, and doesn't like to stay in places for more than a couple months, so she finds work and saves enough money to travel again. She speaks 5 languages and has some incredible stories about the places she's been and the people she's met. The French girls are studying journalism in France, and are on their way to Serbia. Tomorrow, I have two friends coming in from Padova, Italy, and in another week some French guys are going to stay with us for a couple days. A couple other people in our program are also couchsurfing, and so we get to hang out with their travelers also. Right now, our friend Olivia is hosting three Australians. This morning, we had a huge breakfast with some people in our program, and all of our backpackers. It was a lot of fun.
So, in a nutshell, that has been my last couple weeks (throw some math in there too). Right now, Budapest is having a transit strike, so no public transportation is running. It should be over tomorrow, though, so leaving the apartment won't be so daunting. I was originally going to put up pictures of Madrid, but as I was looking through the pictures, I realize that all I did was take pictures of the buildings in the city. So, they're not terribly exciting and for the amount of work it would take to put them up, I don't think it would be worth it.
On the plus side, a group of us are going to Croatia in early May. We're probably going to Split or Debrovnik, which are on the coast, so there should be some nice pictures coming then.
