Getting settled in Debrecen

Amazing what a good night's sleep can do. As a group, we are 100% more cheerful than we were yesterday. Long journey was one thing, but when we finally arrived, we found our accomodations to be a little troubling. We´re staying in a hostel...weren't expecting luxury, but were hoping for clean. Kellie and Doreen handled the situation like total superstars and got us moved to a different floor in the same hostel -- all recently redone, CLEAN, and comfy. It´s close quarters for sure, but everyone is happy!

After the move last night, a bunch of us wandered to the main square -- only a short walk from the hostel -- for a drink and a snack. Lovely to unwind and visit. Today is a free day. We'll rehearse for a bit this afternoon, but otherwise spend the day exploring this beautiful city. I didn't have a clear idea what to expect from Debrecen but whatever expectations I had, they have been more than exceeded. Gorgeous architecture, lots of green, and outdoor cafes everywhere.

I'll try to post some pics on the Facebook page for the Lady Cove group.
