4th day

After our business meeting, we headed into town to learn how to ride the subway system. We found our way to the stadium where we bought tickets to see Lenny Kravitz play on Tuesday night. For lunch we enjoyed the ultimate european treat...ham/turkey & swiss/provolone cheese in a fresh baguette and a Coke Light. We returned to the hotel around 3:30 and got ready for the theme evening at Lazar Equestrian Park. A 1/2 hour bus transfer took us into the countryside where we found horse stables and a farm with all kinds of animals ranging from miniature horses, dogs, pigs, bunnies and everything in between. They put on a riding show and you can see from the pictures, it was pretty interesting. The dinner to follow was fantastic. At our table were the 4 brothers, Del & Marilyn Peterson, Gary Peart (Baja buddy) and his daughter Abby and Blake & Michele Bergeron (1st trippers). We had Goulash (of course), and the rest of the meal "Hungarian Wooden Plate with Barbecue dishes and mixed Vegetables" (roasted Chicken breast, roasted Duck leg, Chick breast Kiev style) was served family style. We enjoyed the "original" Budweiser beer, Amstel and red & white wine. As it was my birthday evening, the boys lines up a birthday "surprise", a special cake (with everyone in the place signing "Happy Birthday") and a solo dance with one of the young dancing girls that was accompanying the Hungarian band. I did break out a few of my Riverdance moves, and thankfully, I stayed on my feet. We enjoyed a few roadies on the bus ride back to the hotel. A group of about 15 of us decided to make a run down to the old John Bull Pub for a pint and stayed until last call. What a fun night...
