Oh, wait, it's the exact opposite of a hard knock life. :) I'm in Budapest now. There are new pictures up on Flickr from here and from Serbia. I'm really enjoying my time in this city. I spent the day today at the thermal baths, which was just perfect, totally relaxing and felt completely indulgent (all for less than $14!).
My stay here is stretching out a little longer than I had intended due to a little misunderstanding on my part about the visa it turns out I don't need for Mongolia. Turns out sending an email to the Mongolian embassy in NY was a better route than visiting the embassy here in Budapest, where the woman told me that if I came back tomorrow I could have the visa in 1 day for $200, or in a week for $100. As it turns out, if you have a US passport, you don't need a visa for visits less than 90 days. So that's that. My plan is to leave Budapest tomorrow late night or early Wednesday morning. Probably headed to Romania from here.
Oh, and I've achieved one of my trip milestones. When I entered Hungary, it was the 6th country I've visited since I've been gone (not counting Canada). So now it's just one more major region of the world and about 7 more months, and I'll have fulfilled the stipulations of my award. :)
More soon!

Dog parade, wow who knew?
Loved the Hay/Hey pic it gave me a chuckle!

Hi Josie,
I've viewed every photo, and I am enjoying your adventure from the comfort of my basement viewport.
I particularly enjoyed "hey/Hay" and como se yama yama.
We got your dad away from the house project for a few days at the Oregon coast last weekend, and we all had a great time.
Loren
