I am trying to look on the bright side of things given you have detonated my plans to come home to Boston this week.
1. I have a new roommate.
2. My name isn’t Eyjafjallajokull.
3. I don’t live in Iceland.
4. Speaking of cold countries, I am happy I don’t live in Finland either.
5. I have the opportunity to prove Boyle's second law: work expands to fill the amount of (newfound) time one has to complete it.
Sincerely,
Alex

Megh's First Week (of X)
Dinner at Olimpia was delicious but bizarre.
Alex: “Can you please tell me what is on the menu?”
Waiter: “No.”
Susan: “Are you serving goose?”
Waiter: “No.”
(The first course was foie gras.)
Boston hosts its annual marathon this weekend; Budapest hosts its annual throw-out-your-trash-on-the-street-day. Unfortunately, the gypsies got to the good stuff before we did.
Unable to fight the forces of the Icelandic eruption, DJ 279 was stuck in London and the Urban Tribe dance party canceled.
Luckily, Szimpla Kert is as dependable as Shy Ronnie is shy.
Megh & Sus.
After this, I walked down Frat Row to pound a cutter at Bonesgate.
Megh upon realizing he may never be leaving Budapest.
No matter the view from the Erzsébet Bridge, Budapest is no New Hampshire.

The Truth (and not Paul Pierce)
Susan is CORRECT (she texted in her response)! Despite his Spartan, Franz Joseph-like sleeping habits, Megh does enjoy the decadence of Nougat Bits.

2 Truths & A Lie
We need to make this blog interactive or else it is won’t last much longer. Let’s play a game.
Who can spot the lie?
1. Megh does not share my well documented love for Nougat Bits. This has caused me to question his taste buds, judgment, and humanity in general.
2. There is a stack of jars next to the bathroom sink at work. Under closer inspection, I discovered they are filled with urine.
3. The plethora of one-way streets makes Budapest difficult to navigate. Last night I realized the one-way street next to my apartment had changed directions since the morning. I realized this while driving down it.

Ode To Meghers
In addition to all of the goodness that comes with Megh visiting this week...
I came home to a perfectly made couch-bed.
Any why yes, Megh did lovingly fold my baby blanket. Which I need for warmth. And love.

5 Biggest Travel Mistakes (So Far)
You would think I would be good at traveling given I do it a lot. Au contraire.
5. Codi and I running on the Las Vegas Strip while on vacation.
Fat guys drinking mile-high margaritas at 10 AM and heckling us: "Why are you running?!"
Codi: "Because we don't want to look like you!"
(Ironic, eh?)
4. Camping. Every time.
3. Booking a ticket to Abu Dhabi instead of Dubai.
2. Arriving at the gate one hour early and proceeding to miss my plane while discussing a coworker's love for corn nuts.
(Reenactment one year earlier at Bowery Bar; a pose otherwise known as the Jason-Kane-Crossing-The-Delaware stance.)
1. Alyssa and I packing our paper tickets in our (checked) luggage while flying home from Barcelona. We had to buy new tickets from Heathrow to Boston for the exact same seats.
QED - I am lucky I get to work each morning.
