Dusty and I are going to go and explore the town today. We are still getting familiar with our surroundings. We plan on stepping into the shops and browsing, and going to check out the local swimming facility which was reccommended to us yesterday. From what we here, there is an indoor and outdoor pool, park and cafes, all within the swimming facility. We also went online yesterday to discover the "hot spots" in Papa, lol. There are quite a few spots in Papa that are highly reccommeded to check out. Two very large, very old churches, are positioned on each end of the walking area. Additionally, there are a couple of museums, and historicial monuments. We plan on taking pictures of the spots we visit. I can't stop taking pictures of the local buildings...they are so gorgeous! All of the colors are spectacular. When Hungary broke from communist Russia, the people embraced their newly found freedom and painted their houses radical colors (and their hair).

We are trying to blend in as best as possible. From our experiences here so far, that would include not smiling and staring at everone! lol!! The people here are known for staring or "people watching". Not very many people smile here, even when we smile at them. There have definitely been a few people who have smiled, and some that have been very easy to get along with. We stopped in a local camera shop downtown for a small camera strap, and the guy gave it us, without any charge. He spoke a little English and was very friendly.

We will see where our adventure takes us today!
