nothing says happiness like...

... starting dinner off with a bowl of fresh sour cherry/raspberry soup. that's one hungarian summer dish i can't pull off in the states for the life of me, but it's soooooooo incredibly good while i'm here!

and there is no better way to spend a rainy saturday afternoon than chatting for hours with an old friend you haven't seen for 4 years (thanh was in boston when i was in budapest last year) in a random hungarian coffee house.

it's been a quality day... now, in the spirit of further laziness, post-internet cafe, i'm walking the two blocks home, and finishing How we survived communism, and even laughed (which i bought in prague), accompanied by pretzel crackers and nutella and czech beer.

i love my life this week. :)

happy saturday?
