Day one= Dont trust anything green and harmless looking

11pm
We are just settling into our cozy double room on the sixth floor of a mysteriously large old building in downtown Budapest. We got here today around 3pm after a lovely and also cozy night in the plane...well, sort of. we walked to the Danube river, had some food, and walked towards the Buda hills and the Buda Royal palance that overlooked the river and the bridges. everything is gorgeous and just really nice looking. the river is surprisingly clean too. Then after walking over it three times, we went to dinner. We ordered some harmless looking meals, and thats when it happened. Alicia, with my vote of approval, decides to take a large bite of a slice of green pepper. Nothing can happen of course. we are only in Hungary....we havent even gotten to Asia yet. after chomping down, her eyes widened, and out came the pepper. So, me, unbelieving, stuck my fork into it and proceeded to taste my fork. Wasnt i in for a surprise....lets just say, we need to build a better tolerance. and quick.

tomorrow we pan to visit the thermal baths in the morning and go to the national gallery or for a bike ride in the afternoon. The weather is perfect and sunny and we havent even gotten lost yet. . .things are looking good, but as is expected, we are exhausted. good night!
