"look left, look left!"

this morning we went to electrolux. first we had a lecture by this HR guy. i didn't really like the lecture- he basically just talked about boring details about electrolux which i don't feel like i learn anything from, oh well. then we had a tour. we saw vaccuum cleaners and refridgerators. i think we were all just burned out at this point because it was really hard to pay attention. it was kinda cool seeign tons of appliances going through the line but it got old pretty fast.

finally it was time for lunch! we were all starving and bored so it was awesome to have lunch! we had a buffet at electrolux- chicken paprika and gnochi of course, rice and chicken, etc. it was pretty good. they also had the same dessert they have everywhere in budapest too- sponge cake stuff with chocolate and whipped cream, pretty good. turner almost took my eye out when he pried the lid off his diet coke with a knife and the lid smacked the side of my face, it was really funny. we also looked at pictures of jen and michelle and mrs. fields was pretty amused.

after lunch we took the bus back to budapest. we had the rest of the day free so everyone went their separate ways to do different things. aubrey, turner, dan, joe, derek and i went to st. stephen's cathedral to look around and see the mummified hand. the cathedral was SO pretty, it just felt like a real church and what i would expect a catholic church to be like. the hand thing was pretty creepy, but i guess its cool. after that, aubrey and dan went back and then rest of went to see the art museum. we took a whole bunch of random subways (2 of them totally unecessary apparently) and finally ended up at the museum. we walked up to the front and saw a tiny sign saying the museum would be closed on wednesday the 16th, which of course was today. we were pretty sad but decided to just roam around the city and explore. we walked over to this little pond and saw some ducks that were pretty cute. we almost went ice skating but got too overwhelmed with not understanding the language and shoes and etc so we gave up and kept walking. after walking aimlessly for about 2 hours, we headed back towards the hotel. all of our friends were gone at wine tasting, so the rest of us split up for dinner. turner and i walked down to this little strip where there were tons of restaurants and went to a little random place for dinner. i ordered pasta and was dissapointed but oh well. we also got milkshakes! mine had chunks of ice in it, kinda weird.

tonight, natalie's cousin who lives in budapest is going to take us out so that should be fun!
