The briefest of e-mail from son Andy confirmed he is in Budapest today. He described it as an "intellectual" city. As of now, he stated the highlight of the trip was the time they spent in Belgrade.
We had planned to visit Budapest last October but changed our plans after Jon's stents in favor of more "western" European countries. Thought we would be closer to cardiologists if need arose. In retrospect, Budapest would have probably been better than some of the rural places we stayed in western Europe. We know an American couple who are missionaries in Hungary and headquartered in Budapest. She was born and raised in Hungary and escaped when it was communist years ago. They were drawn back to minister to the poor and Roma (or Gypsies).
Today is another wonderful spring day. We actually have much earlier and a longer spring season than we used to. Don't tell anyone how nice the weather is in Minnesota or everyone will want to live here. Good weather and 15,000 lakes. Awe, life is good. Our neighbor is swimming in her pool today on the April 28. That didn't happen years ago.
PS: I am still "at it". -35 but it is harder to stay on track. Didn't do any exercise today and that is the first time in months I have to say that. Did hit Curves 4 x this week and walked enough for the week plus a little bicycling. Today I will consider a day off. Back at it tomorrow.
