Today is something like National Garbage Day in Budapest. Overnight, mountains of bulky trash dumps have appeared all over the city. This also brings out the scavenger in all of us. I saw cars driving around slowly with trailers attached to them, with people just picking stuff up. It's the ultimate craigslist/freewheel smörgåsbord. I myself found an old, half-used photo album, with someone's history inside. The paper is still good, and quite nice, so I think I'll use it to send letters. Jack picked up four mismatched, but serviceable, chairs for our potluck tomorrow. There were trucks driving around all over the place picking stuff up, but the job is so huge, I think it will take them a few days. In the meantime, smaller trash is migrating and creating a mess.

Besides clambering over trash all day, I did take a quick trip to Moszkva tér, the big junction at the end of the M2 metro line. Not much to see but people running around. It was a beautiful, sunny day though, and it was really nice to spend time outside, no matter where.

Tomorrow we host our international potluck. We hope it will be AWESOME! That is all.
