Finished my laundry (it had been hung out to dry). Went searching for the pool on Margit island, found it, and then spent almost an hour trying to figure out how to get a ticket to get in. Swam in the outdoor pool (long course meters). Managed to do 2km before giving up. After swimming I was so exhausted I stumbled around Pest again. Got kicked out of the Parliment parking lot by an armed guard when I thought I'd take a short cut, bought the new Pearl Jam CD, bought an etching of Budapest from a street vender (the artist), and went to another fantastic meal at Fatâl. Spent the evening looking through travel books, talking, and watching the Olympics.
