Final Hungary Update
Hi! We wanted to give you one last update from Hungary before we leave. Thursday we traveled by train to the Fort of Komárom. This was very amazing. It was huge and the kids really found it interesting. We learned that it was the 5th most targeted Fort for the Americans to find because of the large supply of gunpowder and weapons that was stored there. The kids then walked over the bridge and were actually standing in Slovakia. After that we did a little shopping and then went swimming at an indoor pool. After catching the train to come back to Tatabánya the children returned to their host families for their last full night.
This morning we are hiking to Turul (the bird) where we went the first day to make a campfire and cook goulash. If it rains we will cook in the caves. We have a very early morning where we will leave for the airport at 3:30 am. Although it may be an emotional good-bye with the Hungarians, we are also excited about coming home to our American families. We have really learned a lot and enjoyed ourselves. Everyone is excited about sharing our many pictures with all of you!
