I am now in a town in Croatia named Varazdin. We are staying in an awesome hotel only 2 to a room, but the rooms are pretty big so it will be a nice stay. We don´t have another concert for a few more nights which is nice because we have had one every day accept the first day we arrived. We are going to start some intense rehearsal though because our competition is coming up pretty quickly.
So I have a pretty neat story to tell you all about what happened to me in Budapest. It wasn´t very neat at first though..... We were up looking at the royal castle on the Buda side of the river and I bought something in a shop and left to go back to the hotel with my group, which wasn´t near where we were. When I got back to the hotel I couldn´t find my Euros, they weren´t anywhere to be found. My stomach dropped when I realized that they really weren´t there because I had 95 left which is close to $130. I went through my day and when I realized that I had to have left them in the shop; when I realized this I got a really good, calm feeling, telling me that it would be okay. The next day I was able to take a taxi back to the castle during my free time and I found the little shop and they were there! The woman at the desk had me describe the envelope they were in and I got them back! What a relief. I was so thankful that the spirit calmed me down, even though everyone told me that they wouldn´t be there, because I knew it would be okay. It was a really neat experience, and it taught me to make sure I always know where my money is.
I am having a wonderful time here, and miss and love you all!

Whew! Halley I can imagine how stressful that would have been for you! You are sooooo careful with your money:)
Hey! you remember that our waiter on the cruise was from Croatia? He told us it was a beautiful country and has lots of tourism . . . is he right?
Good luck with the competition, I'm loving hearing about your trip!
Halley,
You are so much like your mother,
and that's a really good thing.
Love You
Smelly old Grandpa Young
Your mother was always forgetting things and the fun thing was, people are honest, she never really lost anything. Great experience.
You guys WOULD bring that up . . . I have to admit it sounded like old times to me too!
Your smelly old ma! :)
HA ha ha!!!
Spencer would be so jealous! He could use his rusty Croatian language skills if he was there!
I didn´t remember that the waiter was from Croatia, I remember that he was pretty neat though.
The town we are in isn´t very touristy, which is a good change. Our hotels are super nice, but can you believe that if you want air conditioning, you have to pay for it? On top of everything else!
Were you really always forgetting everything mom? That´s pretty funny.
And grandpa, I wouldn´t say you are smelly... I just love your smell. And mom´s too.
You would never guess, but I am having the most difficult time typing this because the letters are not quite the same, the z and the y are switched, and the apostrophe is weird, and the question mark is in the wrong place... weird computer key board. Sheesh.
LeeAnn, the only word I know how to say is thankyou, and it is something like fhahllah, with a throat glotle where the fh is.
Our name Sudar comes from Croatia. It means sweat I think. I bet you were sweating in Croatia with that experience. Glad it worked out okay.
I'm glad you found your money! otherwise that would not be good! I'm glad you are having an awesome time and you better be taking LOTS of pictures cuz I wanna see 'em!=)
