Work & Play on a Friday





Yes Kevin is working as a Fulbright Scholar

 We (Ryan, Carmen & myself) went to see Kevin at work at the University of West Hungary just 5 blocks away.  He spends 6 hours a day working with Ferenc on their research project and then Saturdays working with the students collecting data using Fitness Assessment and Accelerometers.

Host University

Walking around the city at night with the Basilica in lights is very beautiful and romantic. Walkways are lit up as well as bridges across the little Danube.  It is a college town with 3 campus locations around the city, meaning lots of college students walking around at night.

Host Colleague Ferenc & Anna Ihasz w/ Kevin @ Beer Fest
                                                   

 Well Kevin wouldn't miss a Beer Festival - 27 beers from around the region - Czech, Belgium, Hungary, etc.  No they didn't try them all but tasted a couple at least.  Music played in the Square well past 11pm.  Our flat is just 1 block away from the Central Square so we can hear the entertainment easily.
Sornot (Shur = Beer) Festival
That's all for now - Saturday takes us out to the rural town of Kimle for a bike tour and cultural exchange with some of the college students.
Later Gator,

Very good beer...Kevin enjoyed sampling the varieties. Several of the Beers are stronger here than in the US. Less is more :) I was surprised to see Boudin in Europe but i probably shouldn't be since it was brought to Southern Louisiana. Their big meal is in the middle of the day with just a light supper in the evening.
