continuing to Germany

Hi everyone!

This will be a quick one since we are leaving in ten minutes. We traveled to Budapest, Hungary a few days ago. It is again a beautiful city. The eastern European major cities are rather nice although not inexpensive.
We started off the first night by going to a traditional Hungary restaurant. We were allowed to order anything from the menu (possibly a bad idea), so a few boys of the group ordered the most expensive item they could find (74 of Hungary money). Of course Andy was one of these boys. When the entrees began to arrive, everyone gasped because they were gigantic! The 74 entree came out as a huge platter that we originally thought was four people's dinners combined, but as we found out it was for one person and did not fit properly on our table. It was hilarious! Then the next task was to make sure that everyone who had ordered the platter ate the entire thing. Andy of course fulfilled this task. There were definitely a lot of rumblings from not being able to sleep that night due to full bellies!! We returned to the restaurant the following night since it was such a hit. Uh oh I'm getting logged out in a minute.
We're heading to Dresden and Berlin today for a few days!! Hope all is well!

Good to hear that Andy is getting enough to eat. I thought the dinner he was sitting down to in Ireland was big - hopefully you have pictures of this new record feast!
All is fine back here, Mom and I spend Sat digging up the yard and then went to "Carribian Island Night" at the boat club - lots of great stuff to eat in keeping with the theme. The featured drink was some kind of a "death by rum" concoction that needed a "keep away from open flames" warning on it. Had a good time and went home early to avoid yet another storm.
We miss you guys, take care,

Love DaD (& Mom)

Lissa said Sounds as though you were not starving in Hungary! Lis went to the Science museum in Mlps with Deb etc. and had a good time. She bought a shirt for me as well herself. Lis,I and Jim picked up Katie at the airport Sat. She is already up to Mankato. Dad and I went for a walk today with Trix. Lis said we've been painting the deck. Hope your journey continues well.
