I made my first clothing purchase here in Budapest yesterday – this sunhat. I’m going to need it when I get to my farm stay.
Sunday was my last full day in Budapest, and I made the most of it. I rode my bicycle over to Margit Island and enjoyed a lovely couple hours getting to know it. I meandered back over to Vaci Utca, the shopping street, where I found this great buy at only about $8. I had dinner at a cafe I’ve been wanting to try and dessert at Gerbeaud, a fancy, historic cafe and coffee house that’s been an establishment in Budapest since 1858. I even tried out the little Hungarian I’ve learned. I’ve pretty much only spoken Hungarian in my language lessons, too shy to try it with vendors and waiters who speak English. But, I gave it a shot last night. It was awesome.
Today, I’m off to do a farm stay. The farm is a couple hours south and west of Budapest and I’ll be traveling there by train. I’m looking forward to it. A friend I met at Herräng just completed a farm stay of her own in Sweden and loved it. I’ve never done anything resembling farm work before, so it’ll certainly be a new experience for me. I don’t know how long I’ll be there – it depends on how well it works out for us.
Wish me luck, friends!
TL;DR: City girl moves to the farm.

Good luck city girl!
