So packing this morning I had to make a decision on to bring thermals or not to bring thermals. It is a hard decision, it is almost like you are giving up if you bring them. You are giving up seeing the sun and feeling its warmth, you are acknowledging that it will be cold and grey and dark during your trip. It is a tough decision, it is like the loss of optimism.

I did not bring thermals!!!! I will be optimistic! I believe in the sun!! I believe it will send warmth down through the clouds no matter how grey they are!!!

Hope you have a great weekend! I'm off to Budapest to be an optimist!
