HAPPY NEW YEAR ! ! ! ! !
Getting to know you and share in your adventures has been one of the pleasures of 2018!
I'm so happy to be your friend, Lena!
Hope 2018 is a fun; stable year for you and your family.
Oh, I don't know.
Stick 'em all in black bin bags and leave 'em out in the streets.
Good afternoon and happy 2018!
YUP ! ! !
Cheese and crackers was my breakfast today.
Yuuuuuuuuummmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy New Year 2018, Roommates!
My New Year began by helping the neighbour's wife wash down the stairs.
She didn't even know it was New Year's Day.
That's it, good deed done for the year.

And now (that I’ve taken care of laundry) to the promised postcards, first from Budapest.
We arrived on the 24th, quite early but already after the supermarkets closed for the Christmas hiatus of varying lengths. Only one place was still open for lunch in our neighborhood, and it was mediocre and overpriced. The decor was fun though:
For Christmas Eve dinner we had to survive on spaghetti (of a cheap Turkish brand) and tomato paste bought at a Middle Eastern shop.
It got better after that.
We watched a fantastic production of the Nutcracker on the 25th. Taking photos was not allowed, so here are some from the National Ballet’s website:
The city is beautiful with, for example, the neoclassical Opera building:
And the Chain Bridge with Buda Castle across the Danube:
I very much liked this fountain in front of the Buda Castle:
The Gothic Revival Hungarian Parliament building is best viewed from across the Danube or from a boat:
Finally, a plethora of Christmas markets and Christmas lights make it a special time to visit the city:
Overall, this was a beautiful city, although not somewhere I’d be dying to visit again. Vienna, on the other hand, was a different story.

The Gothic Revival Hungarian Parliament building looks awesome. Can you go into it? That is something that I would want to do.
Hi Lena! Your pictures are beautiful!

Good morning.Good Morning Roommates
Yes, you could. We didn’t. We’re not the most diligent tourists [emoji23]
It’s a gorgeous building, the second-biggest parliament in Europe. The biggest one is in Romania, I believe, but hardly as inspiring.
A Happy New Year for you too, Lena.You could do a home exchange, say for a week, with one of the neighbors, Sabine. Then, a roommate would look after your animals and enjoy small-town Germany, while you are... in Roskilde?! Hmm, what a brilliant idea.
Happy New Year, dearest Bee!
Thank you, Noel! I’m glad to be back home with my triplets - the three cuties from my TORTOISE gift.
Happy New Year 2018, Roommates!

Ive never been out side of the United States so I find it all interesting. I love old and old looking buildings like that. The gothic age architecture has alwayd been my favorite.Yes, you could. We didn’t. We’re not the most diligent tourists [emoji23]
