Budapest!
My roommates and I walked around the other day and I took pictures of some cool street art I thought was interesting:

Only one month left?
Woah! I can't believe it! I've been here since January and my oh my how the time has flown. I haven't been the best at blogging, but I guess you can see that as a good thing right? If I blogged all the time that would mean I had a lot of free time...or it could just mean that I'm better at blogging...one of the two hahaha. Anyway, here's what's been going on lately. Let's see.
March 15-- This is Hungary's "Revolution Day". Since Hungary has never won a battle, I found this holiday particularly funny because I've never seen a country celebrate a defeat so hard. But regardless of the outcome, people flood the streets, don their red, white and green and go to celebrations. This April, Hungary had/is having a series of elections that will bring a big change to Parliament. This being said, there were a lot of political parties rallying for the vote. I live essentially in downtown Budapest, on a main street. On the 15th, they shut the street down and a Political party held a rally in the middle of the road. I wasn't able to really understand most of what was happening, but it was really neat to be able to look out my window and see the masses and hear them singing.
Mary came to visit for the week of my birthday (that's right, a whole week for my birthday!) and following that Kyrstin and her friend Rachel came to visit. It's so much fun to have friends here because I get to do the touristy things like go to the bathes, walk around Buda, go to Szentendre, and go to Market Hall!
Overall March was a great Month! I cannot wait for it to be warm, at least it's not snowing anymore! I am excited to be back in America soon and see everyone! I miss you all!
Love,
