Vacation Part 3 - We got ROBBED

No, not pick-pocketed but ROBBED on the volleyball court today! It's a long story but the US team played really well and should have beat the top 2 teams (Italy & Germany) - they beat them both in a couple matches but then lost the others by 1-2 points. Wahhhh! The real problem is that they put the 3 best teams (USA, Italy, Germany) in the same pool of 4 so our guys got eliminated along with France who we easily stuffed. There were real tears coming out of the eyes of grown men. No joke! If the people running the show had distributed the talent evenly as it should have been, our team would have gotten a medal because Italy and Germany totally smashed the other teams from the other pools. Wahhhhh! Wahhhhh! Ok, I'm done sulking. Seriously, the US team totally ROCKED out there and we're all super proud of them. The games were really fun to watch and even though tears flowed, they were great sports.

Way to go team USA! :)
Nice shoes guys!
Me and my man!

Budapest is famous for its bath houses. There are lots of pools of water at various temperatures (inside and outside). The best part was sitting in a H.O.T. steam room and then running over and jumping into FaaReezing water! Ice cold! I was worried that people wouldn't be clothed since it's Europe but bathing suits are required here! :)
Had to take this shot of the beautiful sky coming out of the bath house.

Good job Matt! That cloud looks like there's a cherubim behind it!
