Red Bull Air Races!

On Aug. 20, it is St. Istvan's (Steven) Day in Hungary (which is like our Fourth of July). Every year they host the Red Bull Air Races in Budapest on this day. We rallied downtown to see them and it was awesome! The planes cruise right under the main bridge and the course is set up in front of the parliament building which is about as good a backdrop as anything I have ever seen! We went from the sides of the Danube River up castle hill which is pretty amazing as well. We just walked around and also watched some more of the races from up there. The Hungarians sure as heck know how to have a holiday....in between the planes racing they had the blue angels put on a huge show some big military planes fly over and tons of music and fun all day until about 9p.m. when they had a massive fireworks show! Anyways, it has been a lot of fun having some time to explore before school starts which will be Wednesday the 26th. The beginning of next week is staff orientation and than we get started with what we came here to do!!! We will keep updating and am also in the process of putting more pics and videos on youtube and you can go to Flickr now and see some more as well....http://www.flickr.com/photos/brandonwilcox

Talk to you all again soon!

First Trip to Downtown Budapest

Hello all! We made our first trip to downtown Budapest the first Saturday that we were here, Aug. 15. Our family friend, Brad Baker and his daughter Olivia, took us around. We explored the east side of the river, which is the Pest side of Budapest. We got to see Hero's Square, the Basilica church, and Vacy Utca which is their main walking/shopping street. Here are a few pictures of our day!

We are here!

Hey everyone! We made it here yesterday afternoon! We got to see our apartment, which is very nice and today we got to tour the school! We are both really excited about getting started! We haven't gotten internet yet in our apartment, but we will add some pictures when we do! Email us for anything...we will have email access at the school for now. Can't wait to hear from everyone!!

Hello everyone! Quick update....we are leaving one week from today (Aug.11)!!! Can't believe that it has come so fast!

Thank you all so much for those of you who have supported us (financially and spiritually). We are getting closer to our monthly needs. Right now we still need about $600 a month. We are praying that God will provide.

We are getting really excited about heading over there! We will keep you all updated with pictures and new blogs!!
