Just a quick note about Sunday's tragic thunderstorm. The news is saying that there were four confirmed dead and 500 admitted to local hospitals. Many of the injuries were due to roof tiles blowing off buildings. I don't know what the wind speeds were, but I would guess they were in excess of 60 mph at times. The raindrops were definitely painful as they hit us. Apparently authorities knew the storm was coming some time before the fireworks event. Of course those in the government are blaming one another for the way in which the evening was handled.
On the lighter side, we are really enjoying Budapest. We traveled up river a ways the other day and enjoyed some historic buildings and villages. Budapest is a beautiful city. Today, Beth, Molly and I will be exploring on our own, as Dennis and Judit left this morning for business in Rome. This will be a real test of our Hungarian as we do some shopping.
Tomorrow, Molly flies home and will move into the dorm on Saturday and begin classes Monday. Beth and I fly to Dublin later in the day. We are really looking forward to our time in Ireland, seeing old friends and meeting new ones; engaging in ministry and planning future trips.
Molly is ready to be home. Beth and I are ready for some more time abroad. I guess that works out well, as we are not yet half way through our trip.
Photo and video updates are forthcoming. We haven't been able to upload from our computer while here in Budapest, but we will have that capability once we get to Dublin.

I'm so glad you guys were okay during the storm (especially since you were leading "blind Beth") I will keep both of you and Molly in my prayers as you travel tomorrow. Still missing you...Donna
gosh, sounds like you were having a tad bit of weather excitement just like being in the FL hurricane season!!! I sure miss you guys, but know you are fulfilling God's work in Ireland...Take care! Jacki ;)
