It’s 1:00am here in Buda (Pest) Hungary. Speaking of which, I am looking right now at a man digging for food in all the garbage cans downstairs. I’m on the third floor hostel room smoking since you can’t in the rooms. Fuck that!

Good score- he found a shitload of cardboard!

Well, today was interesting. Talk about cheap! Rooms are $8.00, but smokes are .77¢, coffee 50¢, and gourmet restaurants for about $5.00. And 25¢ ice cream cones! But we just walked around the town today, of both Buda and Pest. I saw another butt today since it was windy. But we tried to get into a circus about 10-15 miles away so we walked to it. We got only 2 tickets-the last ones for $6.00 apiece. We decided that a movie would be okay so we went outside and asked some people if they spoke English, and they did. They said they were missionaries and that they could get us in for free at 4^th row. It was amazing how lucky we were. It was a great time! They even gave us free bus tickets home.

Afterwards we drank some coffee and I called my mom. Tara suggested that I call or write to Rachel. I’d rather write. I miss her so much. You can tell by the chest and stomach cramps that I get. I’ve only had those for Tara before, but we all know that story too much…

Songs are hitting my heart more than ever now, such as ‘Time After Time,’ ‘Fields of Gold,’ ‘Today,’ ‘I wouldn’t Normally Do This Kind of Thing,’ ’Wish You Were here,’ and ‘Shake the Disease’ to name a few.

It’s so hard to wait for the ‘last dance,’ the beginning of the end. {This is in reference to a Cure song called “Last Dance.”}
