Friends, I’d like to share my joy with you – my visa was granted! I’ll be picking up my passport from the consulate on Monday. It is hard to put in words the relief I feel that this process is over, and I can now fully enjoy the last days with my family and cousins in Hungary. Then on Thursday, August 1st I’ll be flying back to the US.
Although I am in Hungary already (in the top photo you see the Chain Bridge and the Danube behind my brother and I), today I’d like to offer you glimpses of some amazing sites in the Carpathians around my region of birth.
