:) Yahoo!! Starting after school of Friday was the beginning to a week long break!! It is called the őszi-szünet which means autumn break. To start it off I went to my home room teachers house on Saturday! It sounds we weird that I went to my teachers house, I know! She took me to a local pastry business and we had yummy sweets!! We spent the day mostly just talking and then cook and ate dinner! After dinner I got a big surprise! She made a Hungarian apple cake for my birthday! She lit a candle that said 16 and I then I blew it out and made a wish! She also gave me this really cute pillow case.
Then on Saturday I went with Dori, Emi, and Lajos to Lajos's moms house. She lives in a small town about 40 minutes away called Püspökladány. When we got to her house she gave us lots of baked treats and my favorite pogacsas! Then we all went to the Cemetery and visited their dead family. In Hungarian there is a holiday on November 1 called Halottak Napja which is a day to remember the dead. So for the few days before everyone goes to the cemetery and puts flowers lights candles. It was very pretty to me and I found it very interesting. It was similar to in the US but they had flat, tall, boxy graves instead of grave stones. When we finish we went back her house to have lunch. It was the biggest lunch I have ever had! First we had soup, next we had something similar to sautéed chicken on top of potatoes, then stuffed cabbage, then sausage and pasta, and then a dessert thing!! I do not know all of the names or how to describe it but it was a lot of food! A good start to the break so far and lots more exciting things to come!
