Entertainment

In between visits to museums and statue parks we managed to sneak in a beer garden or two. After a night on the town Hungarians like to visit public pools and lay in the sun, a cultural trait I embraced.

We took a train to western Hungary to see the Volt Music Festival in Sopron. It rained the morning before the festival so we got all gussied up in rain gear only to have clear skies all night. Pete and Shannon just pretended that galoshes were the new fashion trend.

One of John's private students invited us to a party on some Roman ruins. Disrespectful? Maybe. But I have a hunch the Romans were doing something similar back in the day except this time people's heads weren't getting chopped off.
