Pentecost

So a fun fact: Monday was a holiday in Hungary! For those uninformed (like me), Monday was Pentecost. I had the day off (as did everyone else...seriously. Not even grocery stores were open!), and I really enjoyed it!

The holiday really started on Sunday. After church, Janos and Ildi (and Beni and Lilla) took me to a festival in the Hungarian countryside. There was traditional dress, folk music, and folk dancing. We rode to three parts of the village, and the dancers preformed after handing out these buscuit-like things (called something that starts with b....I love them!) and wine or water. It was a long day, but we got to ride on the same wagon as the dancers because Beni's friend Martzell's parents were dancers. It was very interesting, and I really enjoyed it! I ate langos for lunch - yum. It was a very fun day!

On Monday, I had lunch with Janos and Ildi and their kids, and then Esther, Alexa, and Regi came over! We read through the skit for Converse that I had prepared, and then we got to hang out and talk for a while. It was so nice! After a while, the girls left, and Esther and I went to a cookout that a family from the Kazar's hoem group was hosting. It was truly a cookout! Instead of hot dogs and hamburgers, they cooked bacon and potatoes. Instead of chips there were cherries. And there was some cole slaw-esque salad. There was this brownie-type dessert (nothing is exact, thus all these vague comments) that was delicious. I was a little overwhelmed at the event, so I spent a lot of time with Esther and Enni. We ended up walking Enni to her class reunion, so I got to see another part of Diosd!

It was a really fun weekend, and I'm glad that I got to experience all that I did!
