Where am I going??? Budapest?

Yes, you are coming to Budapest and we can't wait to show you Judit's hometown. We are very excited about your upcoming visit! Hungarians are proud of their heritage: their unique history, culture and language - which they could preserve for over a thousand years, while surrounded by Slavic and Germanic nations and while occupied by Turks and Soviets -, the remainings from Roman times, their thermal baths from Turkish times, their enjoyment of life in a cafe, their famous Tokaj wine, their Hungarian gastronomy, their folk culture, their fight for freedom in 1956 and 1989, their inventors and scientists, the most per capita Nobel Prize winners in the world and many many others...

We are truly excited about the opportunity that you can experience it yourself!

As an introduction to Hungary, we hope that these short films will help you to get acquainted with this unique country and the information that will follow in further posts will help you plan your trip.

Finally

Finally, I am done with a long and very exciting project, so now I can focus on another one. Well, several others, as many of you know me as the "busy girl", however, there is one, which is of particular importance. It is our preparation for our wedding! :-)

We are well into the middle of the preparations, as the countdown starts, as we have fourteen weeks to go until the "Big Day." We made the most important arrangements for the dinner at St. George and we took part on our premarital classes at the church, where the wonderful Gabor atya (Father Gabor) has led us on our way. I also decided to become a fully confirmed catholic (it is the third step after someone is baptized - most of the time - as a baby). So we are very excited to be able to take the sacrament of marriage in May.

As I mentioned before this blog also wants to be a source of reference for those who take the long flight from the States. Hope those will be helpful!
