My Year of the Life of Leisure

I left my job, left my apartment, sold most everything in that apartment and embarked on a year of travelling and leisure. I am working on writing a couple of books. This might be one of them... But then, my chief pursuit is leisure, so who knows exactly what will happen.

Can I stay?? Pretty please??

I really love Budapest. It's everything I imagined it would be. Only, the language is really difficult. I've been here a few days and I still can't remember how to say 'please' or 'thank you' on command. I just smile a lot, and that works really well.

I visited the cemetery today. Really, one of the most beautiful cemeteries I've visited. There is quite a contrast between the older graves and the newer ones. There are some very, very creative headstones. To wit, there was one in the shape of an abstract sculpture, with an inset of beautiful stained glass. I took so many photos I'm back at the hostel, because I hadn't finished walking through the cemetery, and I filled up my digital camera card...

And the weather is so beautiful! I took off my jacket and have been walking around in a sleeveless top. My Argentinian suntan is starting to be nurtured by Hungarian sun.

How lovely.
