    Started the day with a bus to the forest and a walk to the Elizabeth Lookout, a historic lookout tower on János Hill above Budapest. It was windy on the walk, then we climbed the tower stairs and nearly got blown off the top!
    The forest is a huge public space with trails all through it used for both exercise and travel around the smaller towns surrounding the forest. They also show up on various map programs with amazing accuracy.
    After our 4 hours and 5 miles, we took showers, naps then headed down to the stadium for the opening match of the local football club Ferencvárosi Torna Club aka Fradi or FTC. We got official membership cards and t-shirts to support the boys rallying them to a 1-0 win.
    Great day and more to come.    Read more
