Welcome to Budapest: Now 100% Volcanic Ash-Free

Today was mainly a travel day for us. Other than getting up at 4am to check in for our flight, there were no other problems. Now that we're in the heart of central Europe, we hope we've escaped the worst of the problems and that the volcano won't be a pain in the ash any more for us. (I had to use that one...I couldn't resist!)

We had a free afternoon after checking into the hotel; and while some people explored the city a little bit, many of us napped either on purpose or inadvertently. This evening we had a welcome dinner at the Bagolyvar Restaurant (pictured above), which is the more casual sister of the best and nicest restaurant in Budapest. We had a great dinner to start off our visit here including some terrific Hungarian cherry strudel.

Stay tuned for a bunch of pictures tomorrow because we are visiting a company in the afternoon and then we have a cruise on the Danube River in the evening.
