Weekend in Kecskemét

This post is long over due. You may be wondering where we have been for the last week? Well, first we were in Kecskemét for the weekend...then we got sick and have been sick ever since. But before we were sick we had a lovely weekend visiting CETP friends and enjoying the best pizza in Hungary.

Kecskemét is about 2 1/2 hour train ride from Debrecen. We left Saturday morning in time for the pizza party that afternoon. Our CETP friends, Franny and Jon hosted the party and fed us in the traditional Hungarian way, which was until our stomachs couldn't take it anymore. :)

We got to meet some new CETP people, who came this January and who were all very nice. It was fun to share stories about teaching, life in Hungary and other random topics. It was great being around so many English speakers at one time, it almost made me forget we were somewhere foreign. That night we stayed at a hostel and the next morning went back to Debrecen.

I'm bad about taking pictures of people--especially people I just met. So unfortunately there are no good group shots.

We found Debrecen!
