Hello,

So i am in Prauge. Another wonderful city. I have been to a bunch of places. Don't even know where to start. Budapest is HUGE!! Huge huge huge. I met up with Cindy and we explored the city by one of the on-off bus tours. It was perfect because i would have never been able to walk the city as i have usually been doing. We saw most of the sites and then went on a boat cruise in the evening. Cindy has found some trilogy of chocolate places that we have to eat at, one being in Budapest, the others in Vienna and Paris. So the second day of our whirlwind week we went to Gundel, and ate a chocolate crepe. It was quite good, a wonderful way to jump into the chocolate trilogy. We also checked out one of the Roman baths or spas. It is 9 pools that are all heated by a underwater pool that is about 77 degrees calcium's and they cool it to the different pools. One of the pools has 2 semi circles in the center, and the outside circle has a jet system that actually will push you around the inner circle as it creates this crazy current. It was like a wild water ride in the middle of this huge spa, where creepy old men and women who are way to scantally clad are positioning themselves over big jets that blow water up their shorts..... right. I guess i should just be happy they are wearing bathing suits!
Next stop was Vienna which has encouraged me to learn German so I can live in this city. It is SOOOOO beautiful. Like Paris but better! So i am learning German and moving to Vienna. We did another bus tour and visited a castle. Went to another chocolate place where we had the original Sacher Torte (chocolate cake). That evening we went to a concert/ orchestra with a live musicians (Kira there was an oboist!!) and there were opera singers and ballet dancers, who came out and performed on occasion. I was picked out of the crowd for one of the songs to come on stage and play the triangle. It was slightly more than embarrassing to be ON stage, clanging on a triangle, but i can officially say that i have played in an orchestra in Vienna!

Well i am sorry this is so short i am being kicked off the computer. I will be back and keep truing to up load more photos!
lots of love
