Why the Blog?

These days everyone wants to travel the world. As kids and teens we dream about it. As adults we might often think about it, but never find the time. We dream, but few of us ever reach our goal. I am one of those few.
Soon, starting September 4 , my dad and I are going overseas to three places-Israel, Thailand and Prague, Czech Republic. Well, those are where our homes are going to be, but we will be traveling in Egypt, Sweden, and other places. We will stay in each place for about three months.
I am an eleven-year-old girl named Rachael. My father is Philip and my mother(who is not coming for the whole trip but is visiting) is Margie. In this blog I will keep you posted about events. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Ye Olde Medieval Castle! Mwahahahaha!

Guess what Dad and I did yesterday? We went to 'Ye Olde Medieval Castle' that's here in Budapest! It was very fun.

The castle is on the other side of the river Danube, in Buda. We live in Pest.

There was two parts to the walled castle. There was the 'Old City', where the commoners lived in the Medieval Age, and the Royal Palace from the 1300s. We spent our time in the Old City, and saved the Royal Palace for another day.

The buildings in the Old City weren't really medieval buildings. They were definitely made sometime in the 1800s, but definitely not in the style of the Medieval Age.

It was really fun there. Dad's back seems to be healing very well now, and we hope that by Monday it will be almost all better. We will be going back to the castle on Saturday for a play that is being held there.

Up Next: Later today Dad and I will be going to the famous Turkish Baths here in Budapest, and I will post on it. See you then!

P.S.- dad wants me to tell all you guys that we finally have Internet at home and can be reached by phone! Also, we are 6 hours ahead of new York, 7 hours ahead of Iowa, 8 hours ahead of Colorado, and 9 hours ahead of Seattle, Washington.
