Random thoughts of the day:

Have you ever noticed dogs are permantly in the push up postion? Just think about it! So today in a stress release from the brain cramming of language study we headed out for a walk. These walks are 1. to burn off all the hungarian torta and 2. to burn off pent up rage from not understanding hungarian. They are much needed if we have any hopes of studying later in the day. Yesterday this actually took heading out for a jog just to burn off a little extra of the "hungarian is the hardest language ever" feelings. This is also a good time to laugh at all the dogs going crazy at the sight of a running foriegner. I'm sure glad the fences are made tall and strong here cause i'm pretty sure those dogs would make quick work of me. There are so many interesting and sometimes strange sights to see, as you can see here the castle wall still has scares from war, my guess is this would be from the revolution of 1956, as this castle here is were the russians set up all there high powered artilery and fired into the city, I just finished reading a book called "The Bridge at Andau" by james a. michener and would recommend it to anyone who evenly remotely enjoys history. Its based on stories from that revolution here in budapest and it so cool to actually see sights that are mentoined in the book.

Before reading this last part you have to look at the last picture here and tell me what you see, we were walking along and lynnette says to me "hey look at those giant upside down chickens!" I naturally had a very good laugh about this and was wondering if anyone else actually see that?! Its kinda funny though when you think about it, it could be like giant rubber chicken lawn darts. Maybe this could be a new sport! Anyways until the next strange spotting on the streets of budapest, Visonlatastra!
