I'm going to miss Budapest. As I write this it's just after 7am here, and I've woken up early to finish my packing, so this will be a short post- in a few hours we leave for Vienna.
Everything here in Budapest has moved fast, especially these past two days. Thursday after classes we took a field trip to the Unicum factory where we learned the history of the drink and the Zwack company, and then were given three different samples- Unicum, Unicum next, and a traditional Hungarian drink called polinka. After that, and a lecture on the EU, we went to a lovely dinner on a boat at a restaurant called Spoon, and then to another boat for a night tour of the Danube.
The Danube is absolutely gorgeous at night.
It was also a bit interesting doing economics homework after going on the Unicum field trip....
oh, college.
After classes on Friday, we went to get hot chocolate despite the warm weather, and then (after a long attempt to return clothing to a store) we saw the shoes sculpture along the Danube- in memory of the Jews shot along the Danube during WWII.
After that cheery final sight-see we went out to a nice dinner to say good-bye to the city.
I'm excited to keep moving, but it's strange to think how much of the summer has already gone by. I'm already about half-way through this study abroad portion of my summer. Yikes.
