One word to sum up my day: Lost

Dear Family, Saturday November 15th 2008
We got up pretty late, although due to construction we were up far earlier. We ate breakfast at 9, and then went out on the city to discover a market. We got lost for a few hours and finally got to the market. Nothing really looked good, but with the knowledge of the 12,000 Florints still in my pockets, I bought a trinket or two. Souvenirs here are not at all like Prague, which we were actually surprised at, so there were complications in figuring out what to spend our money on.

We wandered around for hours and hours, and finally settled on buying hats and tights, so in the end I have less than a dollar worth of change here. What in the world am I ever going to do with leftover change from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Hungary?

Anyway, there was a lot of wandering around lost, a lot of tired feet, the sun was bright, it was pretty hot and then an hour later pretty freezing, and we were stressed about the large amount of money we took out. I only took out 15,000 Florint, and compared to everyone else that was barely any! Girls were pulling out 30,000 and 50,000, so I figured I'd play it nice and safe with 15,000. What a waste! So I bought a bunch of stuff I feel ok but not amazing about. Just wait until you get to see my hat!

We're on the train now, pretty exhausted, and pretty busy with homework, so I'm gonna get to work on studying for a midterm. Have fun, and I'll take advantage of my internet once I get home,
Love,
Anna

P.S. Oh, Cindy just came around and gave me a piece of KFC, which I shared with Willow. Do you have any idea how much better KFC tastes in Europe after several months without fast food, than at home?
