As I type this note, I am sitting in my host home in Budapest. It is a bright sunny winter day and my body is still trying to figure out what time it is. Budapest is six hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. Currently it is 2:50 p.m. Sunday Feb. 21 while it is only 8:50 a.m. back in the U.S. The flights here were great. I flew out of Chicago and had a layover in Amsterdam. It was a very modern airport and I was relieved to find that almost everything was labeled in English. However as I flew out of Amsterdam, things changed. Predominately everything in Budapest including the safety speech on the plane is written and spoken in Hungarian. Fortunately for me the school that I am at is an English speaking school. As soon as I arrived, I met my host family and teacher and was taken to the school where they were finishing a basketball tournament.
FYIs that I have learned thus far include: orange roof tops, goulash is a favorite food and when you flush the toilette you have to press a stop button.

The Bunker Hill children have been asking about you. They really want to know if the other students have read their letters yet. We have 2 new students starting tomorrow or Friday, a second grader and a fourth grader, brothers. We haven't had a snow day since you left. We think about you every day. Have a great time.
