Parental Unit Visitation

This past week my dad and his wife, Pam came to visit and they leave tomorrow. It's been a blast so far and I'm going to be very sad to see them leave. Two days before they got here I was hit (HARD) with some sort of flu thing and had a temperature hovering around 100-101 for 2 days (the highest was 101.9). So, I was really scared that I was going to be stuck in bed for most of their visit which would have been a huge bummer all around. Through a lot of prayer, though, I recovered and was only lagging the first full day they were here.

We got to spend time seeing the sites (we spent 5 days sight-seeing and still didn't get even close to all of it) and just had a lot of fun hanging out. Tonight I cooked dinner for everyone and 3 of my students came over to join. My dad had a lot of fun interrogating them, essentially. It was so nice to be able to catch up with people from back home and just spend some quality time with them. I also loved being able to show people from America my new home and showing them what I get to experience everyday.

Now that my dad has spent almost a week here, he's also told me that he's much more comfortable with me being here. Budapest is a lot nicer than what he thought it would be, I suppose. I head off to Amsterdam tomorrow as they head back to America. I'm spending the rest of my break with my friend Esther (the Dutch girl who used to live here) and I'm beyond excited to see her again! I'll make sure to try to post a few pictures of Dad and Pam's visit when I finally get the pictures uploaded.
