Well, my violin, my laptop, and my self are all safe in Budapest, but sadly my checked luggage was unable to make the date at the airport baggage claim. I guess I should be careful what I wish for!

Someone asked me about what I decided about the Leopold bow. I haven't had a chance to try one out yet, but I am sure that I will get one...eventually. I was very surprized when the maker of the Leopold bows, offered me the opportunity to be the one to introduce the bows to the Hungarian market. I'm afraid I will have to turn him down. After all, I'm but a student and I'm not very well connected in Budapest yet. I think that with a bit of willpower I should be able to save up to have enough money to buy a Leopold bow within a year, and maybe even make the trip to Copenhagen myself to pick one out. I think that would be a fabulous adventure! I have time to think about the whole thing.

In the meantime, I should be getting back to my apartment in case my luggage shows up. Gosh, it's awfully nice to be back in Budapest! I'm still in the stage of being confused as to where my heart is, but it's a relief that I'm where I need to be to do my job.
