30 Days of Blogging Revisited

Yes, our "30 Days of Blogging" ended at Day 5. Truthfully, we were busy enjoying time with Chrissy and Sophia from the rising of the sun to the setting of the sun- and beyond. Then, we traveled to Budapest and did not bring our computer with us. So, here we are, Day 12.
On a completely different subject- so excited to find broccoli at the market! We have not seen broccoli since our departure from the States last January. Not so excited to have to wash and inspect each floret a million times to get all the bugs/worms off. I probably sound like a pansy, but I do not think I will buy it again for this reason. I don't do worms. But hey, it's organic, right?
Mike is teaching his Advanced class this evening, Solomiya is sleeping and I must prepare for 3 OT sessions tomorrow- but first, an onslaught of pictures:

This was probably 75% of the visit: playing with Uncle Mike/Tato.

Solomiya decided she was just the right size to fit into Sophia's carry-on luggage.

And everywhere Sophia went, Solomiya was sure to follow...

Play area for kids outside of our favorite place to get gelato. It's amazing (the gelato.... not the play area). The guy who owns this place is from Italy.

Sophia was a great helper. Here she is helping Uncle Mike by drying the dishes. She also helped me sweep the floor a couple of times.

Of course, Solomiya had to get in on the action.

On the train to Budapest.

Gives you an idea of what the inside of our train car looked like. This was our 2nd train- we took 3 total. Taxi: Uzhhorod to Chop, Ukraine. Train #1: Chop, Ukraine to Zahone, Hungary. Train #2: Zahone, Hungary to N-something, Hungary. Train #3: N-something, Hungary to Budapest, Hungary.

Solomiya had our hotel room key in her hand and was trying to escape.

At the airport in Budapest waiting for Chrissy and Sophia's flight to check in. They have the same look on their face. They are eating Maria's.

Heading back home to Ukraine, Train #2. Solomiya was doing some stretches. In between the airport and heading back home, we did go to a mall in Budapest. It wasn't Mike's first choice, but I really wanted to go to H & M. If only they had a Target...
