Wow I can't believe this is my last day of traveling around Hungary. It seems like this week went by so fast! Today was a fun day that started at the lake. Everyone was wearing speedo's, which I expected, but I didn't expect to see a man mowing his lawn in a speedo! he he he!
We finished our week at the Herend Porcelain factory and museum. We watched them make several pieces. It is quite amazing how much work goes into one of those plates. After going through the museum we got to eat on Herend china for lunch. This was the best meal I had the whole trip and the china was so beautiful.
One day when I am rich and famous I will buy a set. There was a set in the window with a price tag of 6,000,000.00 Forints which is more then their lottery (it is about $35,000.00) but seeing all of those zeros was crazy.
Then we drove to my first wine tasting. Suprisingly I really enjoyed it. We had 5 white wines: Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc, a dessert wine and one other that I can't remember (of course it was my favorite and I can't remember the name of it!).
Now I am home and I am looking forward to finally settling in, doing some shopping and getting some more food. I hope that everyone is doing well. Rachel- I am so glad that you are safe and sound. Kelley- I am proud of you for standing in front of that board! I miss everyone so much and I am hoping that once school starts I will be a little bit more distracted to get my mind off of home. Love you all!
