On The Twelfth Day Of Budapest


It is our 12th day of living in Budapest! In this short time we have moved in to our nice little apartment, become somewhat used to public transportation, and have become competent with the mental math of thinking forints and not dollars. 
And today we have internet! We are no longer cut off from the outside world! 
So we restart our blog, keeping the Verticalink title. It is a good title, so I see no need to change it.

Much has changed for us. The air is cold, but very much like New England, and therefore nostalgically comfortable. Walking is now a way of life, and no more something that we should, and will some day, do more of. And stairs! So many stairs. Everywhere. Especially at the school, however. Our precious school building is set up vertically rather than horizontally. Four floors. No elevator. High ceilings. Long stair cases. I teach on the fourth floor. I think you get it.

Loving it here, in spite of the assorted adjustments.
