arrived!

i am here in budapest. xander and i arrived safe and sound after a long flight, a long layover, and a shorter flight. we are staying in some college dorm thing or maybe high school dorm. i don't know.

there is a one legged german guy running this place but he seems nice enough. he looooooves xander and wants to pet him every time i come or leave. ok. fine by me.

i met some CETP people yesterday. sadly, i wasn't very friendly as i didn't sleep on the long plane ride and the shorter one wasnt very good. i went to bed at like 11 and was up at 6 here. its like 11pm in texas. man, what a day. i'll be friendly to them from now on. scout's honor.

i'll write again soon. leave comments so i know i'm not just writing to myself!

enjoy the pics!

I love pictures! Thanks for posting them! Hope everything goes well with your first activity tonight. Tell Xander that Kuddles thinks it was pretty brave of him to be so good on the airplane. I keep adding 7 to whatever time it is to find out what time it is there. I hope I don't do that for 11 months, it'll get annoying! Talk to you soon! :)

You are there! And you brought Zander - that is so cool! It looks like the same place we stayed in Debrecen. How fun! I am so excited for you!

What does the sign on your door say? And nice pics of the undies - I guess a picture IS worth a thousand words!

the sign on my door means ˝guest room˝ and i am a guest. the sad part about being a guest is that i must use the guest login on the computer. it times out after 10 minutes. the 10 minutes start when i log on. so before i even hit the internet explorer or firefox icon i am down to 9:50 something. there is a running count the whole time i am online. i have 6 minutes and 41 second left. it also says please save your work before mandatory logoff. rude.

other than that guest life is good. :)

But.... Whatever happened to the apartment you were supposed to be in?

How long will you be a guest instead of a resident? Shouldn't you let them know that you are the greatest English teacher the Unites States had available to send them and they better get real grateful real quick.

...and that's all that I'll say about that. Uncle Bob
