Happy Thanksgiving from Budapest, Hungary! For the long weekend, I was invited to join some of the teachers for a holiday in Hungary. It could not have come at a more perfect time. I'm 6 weeks into my Athens adventure. I flip between feeling like I just arrived and feeling like I've been here forever. I love the school more each day and have so enjoyed making friends with the teachers from the States.
I had a long (but completely wonderful) weekend around Athens. We celebrated Thanksgiving, had an American football tournament, and went out to celebrate one of the teacher's birthdays! Kara will be glad to hear that I found a flea market and bartered for some great jewelry! I made a fort in the corner of my apartment and took a nap :) Then, I went to mass and found out that this church will not be getting the new translation until after I'm gone. Bummer.
After two intense days of school, (lots of tests and projects), we flew out of Athens and arrived at our apartment in Budapest. We have the whole apartment to ourselves - there are 8 of us. It's a cute place and has a great location. We're loving it! Today, we walked to the Christmas market and it felt a bit like home.
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for all the people that made my trip possible. For the friends that told me I could do this, put up with my craziness, and celebrated with me when I was finally accepted! For the teachers that supported me, educated me, encouraged me. For my family, without whom I would not be here. For the people I have met that have made this trip wonderful. I love you all. Be thankful, keep the world beautiful and always take life one step at a time.
