"Pork-o" is the term which comes to mind when my parents ask about my physical well-being as of the past couple months. I blame it on the result of hibernating all winter in combination with my deadly Achilles heel for anything mixed with sugar, but enough is enough!! I can only find so many excuses to inhale chocolate as if my life depended on it. So today I took action—I jumped out of bed, strapped on my Asics and went for a run down by the Danube. At 5:30 in the morning. No, I am not a masochist. I know, I know, it may seem extreme--to cut back on sweets AND wake up early all in the same day, but I have good reason for waking at this ungodly hour—I wanted to see the sunrise. For me it is SO physically painful to wake up any earlier than 8 o’clock, but nothing on this earth can match the colors of sunsets or sunrises. And most of all I wanted to witness the sun rise over the river because I have seen it set in such a glorious way, that I wanted to see if it could match its evening performances with the mornings. Finally the weather has been warming in Budapest, bringing with it longer and longer days, so can you blame me? I just wanted to celebrate by seeing the sun rise. On this morning, check out the reward I got for lugging my big behind out of my bed…it’s sort of a glow of light.
