It's just somewhere I've always wanted to go. Layers and layers of history...Europe without being typical European vacation...former communist country. I just find Eastern Europe really interesting, and Budapest was the first place I wanted to see.

now, it's been a while since I was there, but you should go to the baths. Very relaxing and cheap.

I leave a month from Thursday and I'm there for 5 days.

Huh. I have a family member moving there at the end of the month. Which is weird and coincidental but... probably doesn't lend itself to a get-together, really. Damn!

Sounds like fun!

I'll definately be doing the baths, Heroes Square, Castle Hill, the opera, a boat ride on the Danube, Margaret Island, everything else is as it comes. There's a restaurant that serves huge portions on large wooden plates where I think I want to have Thanksgiving dinner.

I was actually able to find it, awesome!

Stephanie, I skimmed. Is Ellie feeling better?

RenFaire sounds awesome.

Yay DJ! I want to go to Prague. Motherland + amazing architecture + beer = happy!juliana.

I am tired!juliana right now, though. I was in Eugene all weekend, visiting relatives. Both of my grandparents are failing (my grandpa quite possibly doesn't remember who I am, though he was very loving while I was there), and my auntie is recovering from a brain tumor that was threatening to take her sight (and did take hearing from one of her ears). Plus, I was running interference between my cousins (who are younger than me) and my grandma. So, it was a good visit, and I'm glad I went, and I just want to crawl into bed or someone's lap and possibly cry, but definitely sleep.

I did have Alaskan Amber beer while I was up there. That was good.

((((juliana)))) How is it we haven't come up with a symbol for laps and hairpats?

{{{juliana}}} Sounds like a rough weekend.

Oy - I'm having to write-up my self-evaluation in prepration for my year end reveiw. I hate this part. Especially trying to spin how difficult it has been working with L, into how I have taken this challenge and worked to expand my people skills and blah, blah, blah, corporate keyword, blah.

don't forget the dots. The commander likes dots. (/Wirefiend's corporate America)

Woot for fellow Czech juliana! I too wanna go to the motherland. Get a shot with me in front of statue of my great great great great great grandpa Antonín. And yes! BEER! (also sending some comfort~ma your way.)

I'm surprised at how few posts I had to read to catch up. Must be a slow monday. Everyone hungover? Still gronked out? I also revel in the wide range of discussions here. /newbie smerk.

OK, I'm a lil too bouncy for monday morning... er.. noonish. Must have been that OJ! Lucky for my office mate, he's not here.
