back to it

It's the annual time of year - school is back in session, summer is slowly turning to fall, and our little campus community is bustling once again with fresh faced students. Here's a look at orientation and move in day last week Thursday - hopefully I caught some of the energy and excitement of the day.


Also, a mockumentary on the prestigious orientation greeters we made:

a trout dinner at a chic bistro ended the trip before leaving Budapest via Warsaw for a great weekend in New York.

to hungary we go

Arrived to Budapest the week before the migrant crisis hit deeply, and a few days before the national holiday of St. Stephens Day. Aside from an hour or so delay due to refugees on the train tracks and the no man's land train station we arrived to, navigating a new country, currency and language to our hotel in Pest was no problem at all.

Caught the early boat down the Danube to Bratislava, Slovakia one rainy Tuesday... charming little city!
