Miscellaneous Fun

This post is for stuff that has happened recently and hasn't been enough at once to have its own post :)

This was a scavenger hunt that had nothing to do with my mom. When I was showing Bryce (one of my best friends) my Hungarian house on google maps we started wandering around my neighborhood, virtually of course, and found this amazingly gargantuan house. A few weeks ago Bryce reminded me and the next day I went and found it. It was just as crazy huge in person and half of it was really beautiful. It must be two different houses because one half has a lovely flower garden with lots of colors and the other was bare and boring. I had fun looking for it on this gorgeous day. Thank you Bryce :)

This was my first burger in Hungary :) It was like a giant salad on a fluffy bun with a very very thin patty and a lot of delicious sauce. It was good but different. 

The moon the other night (maybe Friday) was by far the brightest moon I have ever seen. It actually had rays like the sun that shone down and provided totally visible illumination adequate for walking safely down my crazy creepy street. You can only take so good a picture of the moon with an iPod touch 4 so I am sorry I couldn't quite capture it's magnificence. I hope you saw it too and that it was as beautiful where you are.

Our wonderful mentors in Szeged had a music workshop on Thursday where everyone could choose to make a plastic plate shaker/drum, a toilet paper tube kazoo, or a beer cap tambourine. My tambourine is pretty great :) not to mention I made it have a Hungarian flag (red, white, green). It was great fun. Every time we have a group activity with the mentors and all the kids it reminds me of Pal Camp which is a wonderful thing :)

Today (October 23rd) is a Hungarian national holiday commemorating the revolution of 1956. I had the opportunity to play with the orchestra group I am in at the university at the city event today and it was really great. Most of the other band members felt about it the way my piers and I feel about the Vet's day performance at hom: repetitive and boring, but I was so happy to be able to be involved 

When I got home from my performance my sisters and I made palacsinta as part of lunch. The picture below was my first attempt at making palacsinta; it was holy and too thick but I learned fast.

This is the stack we ended up with :) They were nagyon finom!
