We spontaneously decided that tonight was a good night to dine in at the Executive Lounge and to average down our costs. Jackpot!
Kathy was the first to deduce that the hot appetizers were quite possibly comprised of leftovers from the fancy Sunday Brunch, including a mixed grill containing pork, chicken, and beef, and a vegetable soufflé. There were also cold vegetables, cold cuts, a lovely selection of breads and rolls and desserts.
We started the evening with a gin and tonic and continued with a glass of Hungarian white followed by a glass of Hungarian red.*
It was delicious and there's no reason to venture outside.

Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
