Peter came to visit!

Last weekend Peter came to visit. I was so anxious all night and all morning heading to the airport to pick him up! It was amazing to see him, I have to admit it was so strange at first? Even though I was right next to him is didn't feel real, it was weird. But naturally things were back to what they always were except 100 times better. Every day I took him site seeing, to places even I haven't gone to yet! It made me realized how little I have explored the city I live in. I had traveled every weekend up until he came.

Anyways, I loved having someone to always be with me and walk around with me. I felt so happy and safe to have him with me at all times. I think his favorite place in Budapest was the St. Stephens Basilica. Which is a beautiful place...


We also went to Gellert Hill which is a quick hiking trip but you get to see all of the Pest side, its awesome.

We had the perfect time together out here, it was so much harder to leave him again. I can't even describe how nice it was to have someone here with me, it made my experience that much more memorable :)

Too much beer and Too much beauty!

Too much beer:

So my first, and hopefully not last, experience at Oktoberfest was pretty damn chaotic. I don't really have full sentences for this duration of time, but maybe some metaphors, quick phrases and adjectives will help. Here it goes...Loud, intrusive, overwhelming, 1-liter beer, boobs, resting revelers, UNH crew representing, cheers!, German lyrics ha, meat and bread, big-ass pretzels, too many Euros spent, Foreign friends, lots of good memories (that I remember) hehe oopsie!

Too much beauty:
My roommate and I spent two days in Vienna and I fell in love. If I could combine Vienna's lifestyle/architecture/atmosphere with Budapest's nightlife I would surely make some arrangements to stay out here. Vienna's atmosphere was indescribable to me. I may be exaggerating but I just absolutely felt amazing experiencing this culture. Landscaping is unheard of over there and the Gardens are to-die-for, 100s of acres of land to take in. I plan to go back with a few friends in December, apparently there is a lot of festivals for Christmas time and what not, it must be beautiful to see. Can't wait for another perfect excursion to Vienna, and hopefully another trip when i'm older!

This weekend I will be staying in Budapest to greet my boyfriend at the Budapest Airport! I beyond ecstatic about this. Not to mention my parents will be visiting at the end of October. Oh and not to mention my best friend Kim will be visiting mid-November! I am to blessed to have friends and family who I love coming to visit me. I can't live without them! I wish more could visit, if only I were here for longer ;) I know my cousins Mel and Jacob would be here in a heartbeat!

That's all, will probably be updating this once Peter leaves, and I have a feeling my mood is going to be QUITE different unfortunately. But still so thankful he's coming at all!

love,
