My Little Town

I went into town today, a bit of a big deal since today was a Sunday, but I went in to see my friend Detty and hung out with her for a little while. We met at the school, since that's the only place I know how to get to, got jegeskave (iced coffee, but a bit different than the iced coffee you'd get at Starbucks. Here, it usually includes vanilla syrup, ice cream, milk, whip cream, or some combination of these things.). Then, we walked around town for a little bit, hung out, and met up with a friend of hers to take his goat, Lolli, for a walk. Yes, I walked a goat today.
On the way home, I decided to take some pictures of the town and of some of the more interesting houses on my bike ride between my house and the school. So, as promised:

My school from the outside (It was Sunday, so I couldn't get inside. I might take some later, but it's not a particularly fascinating place.) as well as some of the neighbourhood:

 

 

Lolli the happy goat:

Some interesting houses in my neighbourhood (Not all the houses are like this, but they're usually small, cute, with a lot of character. Oftentimes they look like cottages from the 1700s. I love it.):

The road to my house:

My neighbour and Csenge's friend, Viktor:

My house (The right hand door on the top floor leads to my bedroom.):

The view from my balcony one morning a few days ago:

My backyard:

Also, for fun, my Hungarian language books (I start Hungarian class on Wednesday!) and a kakaos csiga (literally translated it means chocolate snail, but it's more like a cinnamon bun - cinnamon + chocolate.):

Fun-garian Fact of the day!
Egészségedre, is one of the more widely used Hungarian words. It translates to many things in English including 'bless you', 'excuse you', 'cheers', and more literally 'good health'. So, if someone is sick, sneezes, burps, or you clink glasses, say 'Egészségedre!'.

Love you, my darlings!
