Locals

Yesterday’s food tour was just for me! I didn’t expect that. But tourism isn’t really back yet. I forget sometimes because Covid seems to be over here. The guide, Julia, was a lovely Romanian/Hungarian woman. She took me to a very local restaurant where we had fish soup, meat, cucumber salad and I had some palinka, or fruit brandy. I guess I forgot that alcohol like that makes me really tired. So once I got home I passed out.

today’s dress is from Housing Works. I think it‘s 70s era. I like it a lot. today I’m going to get my hair cut for the first time since January. I cut it fairly short then and have been trying to grow it out. But it really needs a trim. My mother recommended someone here. I’ve made some friends here which has been nice. There’s a very Interesting couple from Colorado who are spending the year traveling and working remotely. I like them a lot and we’ve met up a few times. They’re 33 and have been together since 19 years old. I’m also intrigued by couples like that. And jealous. I always wanted that. Instead I got a ton of heartbreak. Everyone has their lessons to learn in life and I’m not different, but I wonder what life is like from that side. I have no idea.
