Rapid fire touring.....

Wow...it is really hard to keep up with so many tours and activities - this is almost like having a full-time job. And our Opera experience was so enthralling, some of us had difficulty sleeping on Saturday night (remind us to tell you about the "hand man." We believe he is Johnny Depp's cousin and had to have the most expressive hands of any opera star I've ever seen!). Stan and I missed our wake up call, and Margy and Tori slept in as well. Shirley and Mom, the pensioners extraordinaire, apparently had no difficulty rising at 6 AM. Unfortunately, our tardiness prevented another 5 course breakfast experience (which was probably a good thing) as we needed to place our luggage outside our hotel room meet our tour guide for the Budapest city tour. We visited an historic "artist colony" about 40 minutes outside of Budapest.
