Back on US Soil

After 2 years, are now back on American soil. It felt good to step off the plane and be able to read all of the signs. Then, we stepped up to the counter at Passport Control and the guy started up a conversation with us. We talked about living in Hungary and all the things that we were looking forward to doing while we were home. It was so nice to be able to talk with total strangers. Also, we were blown away that a Border Guard would be nice. I've never had a border guard in Eastern Europe even have a pleasant look on their face, more less smile, more less have a conversation with me. It's good to be home.

On the way to Valerie's parents house, we went to CVS Phamarcy to pick up a few things, then to the bank, then to Taco Bell (our kids' top choice!!!!). We discuss how different these three errands would have been in Hungary. They would have taken most of the day in Budpaest (not to mention a translator for the bank) and in Houston they took us less than hour. It's good to be home.

I watched baseball (Astros-Mets) last night and the Today show this morning. It's good to be home!!
