Lake Balaton

I had a blast last week in Lake Balaton! We (Gabi and I) were there since the 4th. First we stayed with her friends at this awesome vacation house. It sits along a hillside that overlooks the lake. Originally the family wanted to turn the house into a BnB for German tourists (back in the day, the East Germans would meet other family members from Western Germany at the lake)...but never panned out, so the family just turned it into a huge vacation house. The house has 3 floors, a basement, ground floor and second floor. It has several balconies overlooking the lake. A swimming pool and lots of space to lay out and tan.

We stayed at that house from friday to sunday, came home to Bp, then the following monday took a train back to Balaton and stayed with Gabi's sister, Katta and her fiance Andras. The two of them rented a sail boat for the week. Andras is an avid sailor. Both are die hard MotoGP fans and Andras loves American muscle cars. His dream is to drive a V8. Cool people.

I got my new cell phone (sony ericsson k660i) and it has a 2mp camera on it. So I used it to take some pics of the trip. Hope they're ok.

Langos (pronounced lang-go-sh)

The langos is a piece of dough like bread that's fried and topped with sour cream, cheese, garlic and salt. Me being lactose, I passed on the sour cream and cheese. Really good w/ a beer, but so unhealthy. Oh well, I was on holiday.
