Finally, springtime has arrived! This weekend, my aunt and grandma are visiting. It has been really nice seeing them. Yesterday, I went on a tour of the Danube River Bend with them. We visited three small towns along the Danube north of Budapest- Szentendre, Esztergom, and Visegrad. The view of the river and the beautiful cute houses along the river was amazing. I really had no idea that parts of Hungary could be so beautiful! These towns were colorful, everything was in bloom, it was amazing! It was really great finally getting out of Budapest and getting to see some other part of Hungary.
It is funny because in my program we all associate Budapest as ugly and grey and cloudy and covered in dog poop. But now, the sun is starting to shine and things are in bloom. I looked out my kitchen window today and realized that the trees at this park across the way are green and beautiful. I totally missed that happening. Literally, everything had no leaves and all of a sudden everything is in full bloom. I mentioned it to my roommate that it seemed like it happened all of a sudden, like overnight. She told me that indeed it had. Last weekend while I was gone, she noticed that on Friday everything was still brown and grey and all of a sudden on Saturday, everything was blooming and green and beautiful. Budapest transformed into springtime with greenery overnight! It is amazing and a wonderful, much needed change.
