Dusty and I have been spending our time hanging out around Pápa, with the exception of the drive to Vészprem. We are becoming increasingly more comfortable communicating with people around us, and have been complimented a few times on our Hungarian (by Hungarian people) . We continue, of course, to have our moments of complete confusion! While driving to Tesco we approached a construction zone. One of the workers approached the car, speaking Hungarian. Dusty told him that we didn’t speak Hungarian, but the man continued speaking…in Hungarian. As he went on and on, Dusty said, “Nem yo” (no good)…the man replied “yo, yo” (good, good). He finally waved us through; we still have no idea what he was saying!! LOL

Today, my mom, sister and grandpa arrive. I am sure they will have jet-lag for a few days, at least. Once they begin to feel up-to-par, we plan on doing some traveling! Our exact plans are still unclear, but we know are going to be traveling to Germany and Italy.
I have just recently been in contact with family in Germany. Johannes, a cousin, is my age and is planning on showing us around. He lives in Broggingen, which is the town our relatives are originally from. We are eager to travel to the “Father Land” and see where we come from!

Last night, the biggest storm we have ever seen, roared through Pápa. At first all we heard was loud thunder but then came the lightening. It was a majestic sight, the clouds lit up bright pastel colors as the bolts of electricity streamed across the sky. As the night progressed the storm grew in intensity. We opened the blinds in our bedroom so we could watch this beautiful phenomena from our bed. We eventually had to close the blinds because the lightening was so intense we couldn’t fall asleep. This morning, we woke up to beautiful clear skies.
