Euro Trip Day 33: Rugs with guns and trains with bunks
Wednesday, July 7th started somewhat busy as we went to run some errands and then head back to our hostel and proceed to conduct the now-usual jigsaw of trying to fit all of our stuff into our backpacks. We got packed up and went to the train station to get our tickets for the night [...]
Euro Trip Day 32: I don’t care if there are other neat cities. I want to stay in Budapest, darn it
I feel like I should specify that Day 32 was July 6th, since I’m not getting these posts posted before bedtime anymore, like I’d originally intended. My plan before I left was just to post one picture and a quick writeup of the day, but I like doing the longer posts (despite the time they [...]
Euro Trip Day 31: A water day from start to finish
This morning started bright and early when John and I headed to the Szechenyi Bath. One of the things Hungary is fairly famous for is its abundance of thermal baths, and while there are at least a dozen in Budapest alone, the Szechenyi is one of the most famous, and rightfully so. It’s huge, and [...]
Euro Trip Day 30: In which we get yelled at by an old lady on the bus, go to a Latin mass, get kicked off the subway, and end up at an apparently fascist rally
Ok, I’m a day late posting this. So sue me. My excuse is the world’s.WORST.upload.speed.EVAR. Even my cell phone camera pics are going slowly, and the ones from inside the sanctuary are my big camera. I did get this post at least STARTED on Sunday, though. :-p Yesterday we got up and took a metro [...]
Euro Trip Day 29: Art is long, life is brief.
I’m writing this post quickly because I need to get ready so we can head up to Buda Castle Hill to Matyas Church, where I’m going to a Latin high mass at 10AM. Neat! (I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned it here before, but one of my goals this trip is to go to church in [...]
Euro Trip Day 28: Relaxed day today, Budapest tomorrow
I’m starting to feel like a broken record. “Today we relaxed. Today we hung out. Today we had ice cream.” Part of me feels like, hey, we came all the way here, shouldn’t we be running around and doing stuff all the time to make the best use of our time? Know what? We can’t. [...]

Euro Trip Day 27: Anyone know what flavor “Smurf” is?
Yesterday we slept in… we’ve been doing that a lot on this trip, oddly enough. I think yesterday I was tired because a horde of angry mosquitoes woke me up at 3AM. Well, the mosquitoes didn’t wake me up so much as the violent itching. Have I mentioned that I don’t think I’ve seen a [...]
Euro Trip Day 26: Last stamp day of the trip :-(
Today was our last stamp day of the trip, and I’m oddly sad about it. Honestly, I should have realized it’d be when we crossed into Hungary, but I just wasn’t thinking about it. What’s a stamp day? It’s any day I get a new stamp in my passport. Technically, this isn’t even a NEW [...]

Here, have a map. :-)
Here’s a point-to-point map of where I’ve been thus far — I’m going to try to keep it updated when we switch cities. :-) You can click on it and zoom in to see details from where I’ve been. You can also click on the symbols to see in what cities we stayed, what type [...]
