Hello from Budapest!

I am in Budapest right now, which will be my last stop on my modified travel plan. I will be heading home to Montlucon (via Paris of course) on Thursday. Today it began to snow a lot as I was wandering around Old Buda and it was so pretty that I didn't mind too much that my fingers were freezing. In fact, it was a good excuse step inside the shops to check out the post-Christmas sales.

Christmas in Belfast was great, better than I had even imagined and I'm so grateful to Sandra and her friends for making me feel so welcome there. We had an amazing time, including one of her Northern Irish friends giving me a spontaneous haircut after a couple glasses of wine. Of course, that is just a teaser, and the real stories and photos will come once I am back chez moi.
