Lake Balaton: The start of summer!
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here, and I’m sorry for that. I’d be lying if I said nothing has happened since the last post, as we’ve been plenty busy! I just haven’t had time to prepare some of the media that I wanted to for the entries.
In a nutshell, school has ended, the rain has finally stopped (for now), and we are into week one of our summer vacation! We started in Lake Balaton, saying goodbye to some of our fellow teachers in the sea of Hungary! Pictures to come, but for now, all I can say is that I was reminded of Lake Tahoe while being near the lake…except the water here was much warmer!
We leave tomorrow morning for Zagreb, Croatia, which thus begins the big adventure of summer 2010. Here’s a breakdown of we’re we are heading, in case we lose contact and someone needs to know the last place we may have been seen. Nick, who just finished moving his family back to America, is back in Italy until tomorrow, when he will then head to join us on this epic journey that will last about 2+ weeks.
June 25-26 Zagreb
June 26-28 Plitvice Waterfalls
June 28-30 Mostar, Bosnia
June 30-July 2 Scepan Polje (white water rafting in Montenegro)
July 2-4 Kotor Bay, Montenegro
July 4-6 Dubrovnik, Croatia
July 6-9 Korcula, Croatia
July 10-12 Zagreb, Croatia (and the World Cup final match!)
July 12-14 Budapest, Hungary
July 14-August 21 San Francisco, California, USA
So there you have it, our travel plans! Hopefully during my time back in America, I’ll have plenty of free time (and, believe me, I will) to catch up on some blogging.
Before I sign off for the next few weeks, let me leave you with this: WordPress allows me to see what people have searched for to somehow end up on my blog. Here are some of those searches, along with the number of times it’s been searched:
jacob frisbie hidas (17); 6 horned sheep (6); jamie stubblefield (5); goose liver (4); zoo architecture (4); hungarian hedgehog (3); rocktogon (3); sweaty vagina (2); a guy trap in the zoo (2); real birds that start with a (2); hungarian hedgehog police (2); gypsy mansion (2); alex hidas (6).
Some of them seem okay, but then you really have to wonder who’s looking for sweaty female genitalia, or someone to arrest a hedgehog.
