I have still not quite adjusted to the time here. I am falling asleep late and waking up late too. As a result I missed my opportunity for good picture taking light today - it gets dark here at about 4.
However, I did manage to find a church with an English mass today. I had the time wrong by an hour so I had to hang around for the hour before it started. I think I can add to the list of things I will appreciate when I go home - heat in Church. I was SO cold by the end.
The pictures are of the outside of the Church. It was really pretty and kind of rustic - no overdone, gold encrusted statues as I remember all the Churches in Europe having. There seems to be a tight knit group of British parishoners that help with the English mass - they invited us all for tea afterwards :). Maybe next week.
I had dinner tonight with another secondee, Jo, from South Africa who just got in today. We ate dinner in a restaurant in our neighborhood and I had my first Hungarian food. It was more or less steak and potatoes with a "stew" of mushrooms and peas. It was actually pretty good - very heavy but good.
However, the most interesting part of dinner was learning about South Africa. It was interesting to learn more about a country I really know nothing about.
yay new church! yay new food! yay new friends!
ReplyDeleteps - yes, go to tea! there may be cute british men. heck the accent alone would be enough to get me visiting at least once. :)
