It's better...
In the daylight my impression of Budapest got a whole lot better. Paul got up early and took a train to Szeged to visit another ESIer who was temporarily out there alone. So I got my Budapest Pass (which allows unlimited use of all trams, busses, and metros in the city), and John (a former ESIer) and I wandered around the city for a couple hours. We ran across the Budapest Parade. The city shut down several main streets and thousands of young folks were out having a great time. I was good to get an informal introduction to what the kids I'll be teaching will be like. Budapest is really a beautiful city. We met a bunch of other folks for dinner and went to Margit-sziget (Margret Island) for the evening.
