cute hotel

The concept of staying in a hotel last night hadn't crossed my mind; well, perhaps it very briefly crossed it, but the notion was quickly rejected. I'm really trying to travel frugally. But when I finally reached Dharlene (after a frustrating 45 min in a phone booth!) she convinced me to get a hotel since I haven't slept more than a few minutes in a row in the last few days and it was getting late to venture out to the small village of Vecses in search of my distant relatives. // // Let's try that, for paragraph breaks. I apologize for the stream-of-consciousness style posts so far. So my hotel is great. I'm in the tiny lobby now, listening to every culture, especially Russians, trying to communicate with the reception. I wish I could upload photos. All the rooms surround a huge, very pretty courtyard with a fountain in the middle, up several floors with intricately worked wrought iron decking it out all the way up. $80 CND per night on this special occasion of a good night's sleep, wifi in the lobby, free toilet use, and a hot shower, was worth it. // // Unfortunately, it came with a TV and a remote. I could try to justify its use as a tool for learning Hungarian, but that's a stretch! Although everything IS dubbed into Hungarian. I saw an ad for some fashion show a couple of times with Mary Ruston's son Adam, dubbed into Hungarian! Either his voice really dropped in the last few months or they just didn't bother trying to match it. // // So much for shedding the lethargy though, sprawled out on a king-sized bed with a remote, slipping in and out of consciousness through dubbed fishing shows and adds for sex help books. // // Time to wander the city for an hour, with luggage in storage, yay! Then off to Vecses to see my, um, second cousin?
