My first weekend. || Budapest, HUNGARY

Hand-picked a sackful of fresh apples today. :)

My hosts only told me this morning that we were going to pick apples for the kids today, so I got too excited to pack my camera (my first time to see an apple tree!! A perfect moment to capture!!!),

and with my haste, I completely FORGOT THE BATTERY. (I was charging it last night. UGH.)

STUPID.

I only realized it when we got there. I clicked my camera to take an overview photo of the huge apple plantation, and to my GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT, nothing happened. No battery!!!!!!!!!! </3 </3 </3 No wonder it was too light. -_-

If I could describe it in words, I would, but as writing is not my expertise, I feel I’d just ruin the memory.

I’ll just relish what happened today and keep a mental picture of it.

Lesson learned today:

1. How to choose the right apples to pick.

2. Apples can last for months in a storage room. (We picked sacks of apples enough to feed 40 little kids for 2 months.)

3. (If ever I’m bringing it) Double-check my camera before leaving the house!!!! Otherwise, it will be just a useless, excess - waste of space - baggage. 

-_-

But overall, it was a great experience. :D It's my first weekend here in Hungary, and if all my weekends would be just as good as this one, then I'm surely looking forward to the next ones!!! (Not that I want to make my stay here  happen too fast. In fact, it is entirely the opposite.)

Next on my list: Vineyards!

Can't wait to tick that off my bucket list!!
