We have all, I believe, figured out that I am no longer in England. I am, in fact, in Budapest. Specifically in Pest because Budapest was once two cities (Buda and Pest) on different sides of the Danube (it is actually called something else here, but I forget the name) that grew and combined. Within the city (district?) of Pest Ariel and I are staying in a tiny, quiet hostel located in an apartment built for giants. The ceilings are about 25 feet high and the doors are about ten feet tall, and the doorknobs on said doors are shoulder height on me. Our beds are some sort of couch-style lounge surfaces that are covered in a slippery material that passively dumps the sheets onto the floor while I am sleeping. We had planned to go to Vienna instead of Budapest but we have been loosely traveling with a pair of girls who were coming here and we decided to follow along. We met them in Krakow (side bar, I tried to write a blog entry in Krakow and didn't because I didn't feel like writing. Turns out that was a good move because I just read what I had saved. This is what I wrote: "In Krakow. It is very very cold") and they visited us for a few days in Bratislava and then we caught up with them here in Hungary.
I have not blogged at all since Prague, and since Prague there has been Krakow, Bratislava and now Budapest. Since there is lots to write about and now that I have caught you up on where I am physically (Hungary, Pest, Hostel-built-for-giants, tiny closet housing the hostel's computer) I have a lot to say about the past 2 weeks. So I will try and write it all down, hopefully.

dear emily,
i have just caught up on your last two blog posts. i am glad you´re still writing. are you going back home soon? I feel i remember you telling me you were returning in mid november.
it is funny hearing about cold places for me because here it is shorts and tanktop weather even in the middle of the night. And this is nicaraguan winter, it´s only going to get hotter.
anyway i hope you´re well. i love berlin as well and prague was one of my favorites, i feel vaguely like they´re called coronas but don´t quote me on that. i miss you dude,
esteli
oh and PS what bar were you working in?? I have befriended a pair of brits who lived in cambridge (is that even where you were?? i think it is) and they want to know.
