we are dust...

we have been thoroughly ashed today, at St Michael's Church (Szent Mihaly Templon). it was a standing-room-only service, with an organist and two vocalists. everyone knelt reverently on the cold, hard tiles at the consecration (a first on this europe trip), even the oldest ladies.

fasting wasn't hard this morning: our breakfast "yoghurt" turned out to be sour cream. oops. (the containers were identical, ok?!) don managed to eat all of his, with a copious amount of peanuts. i gagged on the first bite.
