Pata Negra is an excellent little tapas place near the riverside, halfway between the hill we live on and Újlak to the north. The food is sometimes a little hit and miss – the red wine chorizo is great, but some staples are not that brilliant and others are outright odd. Still, overall a great place with decent atmosphere and a Sangría that should come with its own weekend safety brief  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Krak’n Town is crackin’! We visited Budapest’s one and only steampunk themed restaurant for a belated Valentine’s Day dinner, and had an absolute blast. Great place, good atmosphere and quirky yet yummy dishes! Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Five years ago, the love of my life boarded a plane in DC and landed in London. She didn’t know what she was getting into, and I guess there were times that were beyond what she bargained for. Later that year, we got civilly married. She stood by me as I was recovering from a life threatening illness, she helped me find normalcy, and gave me the five best years of my life. Happy sort of anniversary, Katie. I love you to MACS0647-JD and back.

A walk in the light haze of Pannonhalma. The Archabbey is beautifully maintained and wonderfully well-kept, as are the grounds. As one of the iconic Benedictine abbeys of Hungary and part of the UNESCO world heritage, it is definitely worth a visit.

The wife has a new coworker. She’s very fluffy but occasionally needs boops on her noes. We pay her in cuddles and in food, of course. Lots of it
