4. when i take out money at the ATM i get 1O,OOO Forint bills.
5. budepest has turkish bath houses (yesterday we went to the most famous one in Budapest). Most of the bath houses are just for men so we had to go to 4 bath houses before we came to this one that allowed woman. it had a swimming pool. a steam bath room where the water was 36 C (about 96 F) hot. a steam bath room where the water was 38 C (about 1OO F) hot. a steam room that the air was 5O C (about 12O F)hot. and then if you got too warm they had a cooling off pool that was 9 C (about 48F).

I am glad you were able to locate treats. You know I feel you on that one. We miss you guys and are glad you are having a delicious time. We are still destroying our kitchen and trying to keep it real here. we love and miss you guys. Oh, everyone was asking about you at our last WC meeting. Give your wife a hug from me!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love European gelato. And, Joe, I am proud that you have a found a place with cheaper ice cream treats than Cook Out. Although... is the gelato place open at 2 AM? Prob'ly NOT.
