Budapest with the Boumans, Part I (Wednesday, October 5, 2011)
Last night we left the older two sleeping at the Boumans' apartment, so we were a one child family when we got up this morning. What a peaceful morning that was! We slept in a bit, got ourselves together and went to find a restaurant for a breakfast out with Allison. It seems that Budapestians (Budapestites?) don't go out to breakfast. If they do, they do it later than 9:30. Which makes sense, given that we are sleeping with an open window, and the neighborhood is lively until well into the early hours of the morning! There was a grocery store open, so we bought a few things and sat in a park bench to eat before showing up at the Boumans' apartment once more. It was another lovely morning--we have had incredible weather, uncharacteristically warm in both Vienna and Budapest. We are told this is all to change on Friday, which is fine because we are tired of the 2 or 3 short-sleeved shirts in our rotation, but what an unexpected bonus the summer weather has been!
