Finally on line

Well, I made it.  In fact we all made it just fine.  The only thing that didn't make it is the power cord to my computer.  So I haven't been able to come online to send a note since my arrival until now when I replaced the cord.  I don't have  a lot of time right now to go into details, except suffice it to say that we are having a wonderful time and Budapest is a beautiful city--it can be a little rough around the edges, but it's beauty is still there.  I'll go into more detail about what we've done and seen when I have more time.  Right now it's time to make dinner and then go to a symphony performance.  More later...
