What Big Eyes You Have

I feel at times an immense appetite. If the world is my oyster then may it not be served up on a simple dish for me to devour? A few days in a new country and city serve as the starter to whet my appetite for more.
I nibbled in Hungary exploring the city above ground and beneath by labyrinth. There was not a portion of the meal that did not go sampled and yet here I am hungry for more. Hungry for Hungary? Yes, but also so many other countless places that seem impossible to fit into one lifetime let alone one meager student's budget.
Too much was gobbled up in Budapest and far too quickly to be described in brief or in fairness here, but luckily I captured what I could with my camera. I fear my eyes are always bigger than my stomach...

I am in awe of your ability to take such amazing pictures, GORGEOUS! I am always guilty of having my eyes bigger than my stomach...but isn't that great? I would hate to go somewhere magnificent like Hungary and not have that hunger! :)

One regular little Ms Globetrotter you are! Love the writing. The pictures are great too, as usual, but I really enjoy the words.

Fashion Therapist said...

Your pics tell such an awesome story. I really love that one with the antlers. :)

Beka said...

You look incredible! Cute dress in the first outfit! I love the second outfit, because I actually have items like that, so I could give it a try! I like how you were able to revisit some pieces in both looks.

Amazing photos, by the way! That looks like such a beautiful place!

*indie_queen* said...

what an interesting place! You certainly go to some lovely places

Ashe Mischief said...

Hungary! Gah-- I'm *SO* jealous! It's in my top five places to travel to list...

And I love your yellow fingerless gloves! They're so subtle in the pictures and that makes them unexpected and fantastic..

Luxe. said...

Gorgeous gorgeous images! Looks like your having fun!

melly said...

Budapest is further than a dream to me, wow! this is so great that you're seeing places :)

dapper kid said...

Oh wow, stunning photos! I adore the photo of you sitting in the circular window. Annnd those gloves are amazing!!!

lopi said...

I've always wanted to go to Budapest, I hear it's like a fairytale city! I'm so happy for you, you're turning your trip to Greece into a euro-trip. I hope you have some time left for more travelling before you go back home!

Fashion Tidbits said...

it looks amazing :)

enc said...

Somehow, I think your appetite will be sated by a lifetime of world travel, Rebecca.

These photos are really clever, as usual. I love your UO jacket!

Winnie said...

You have such a good eye for photos. Budapest looks lovely, hopefully will get to visit there one of these days! I do love the UO jacket, it's such a great fit on you!

issa said...

amazing photos!!! and that UO jacket is so fantastic!

♥ Chloe said...

Great pictures- the photo of you in the circle window is fantastic. I just love it.

I've never been overseas (I don't even have a passport- I'm ashamed to admit) but after reading your blog I found myself clicking around on a map of Europe and realizing that Husband and I really need to go. And hopefully sometime soon. You're very inspirational in your travels, even if you may not realize it. :)

Juliet said...

The city seems amazing -I love the history!

Hot Bot said...

I love you in those antlers :)

ÅžeNaY said...

great outfits and amazing pictures<3

Misha said...

Oh I love Budapest! Especially in the fall (which is of course the only time I've visited this city). So many beautiful places to tire your camera-lens with.

Mathilde said...

You look great with those horns! I follow your blog for like a month and I love your pictures and writing!
Sorry for the bad english... :-)

detailsofthefabric said...

those are gorgeous photos! =) sounds like you had a really fun time in hungary! i love your urban outfitters jacket and those gloves really add something to your outfit! =) very interesting...

cas ruffin said...

Aaaaaaaaaaawww that sounds so delicious. I try to eat at almost every restaurant in my 5 mile radius. You don't know what you're missing when you don't try anything.

And good point about the hipster scene pictures. Vice Magazine WOULD do something like that, that is, feature only the scenesters in their magazine.

Also, would you like to link exchange (finally)?

pretty face said...

Jealoouuuuuuuuus! Some gorgeous photos there, sounds like you had a wonderful time.

I am now ravenous for Hungary

lisa said...

Lovely fingerless gloves you have on! The photo of you sticking your hand in the carving's mouth reminds me of Audrey Hepburn doing the same in Roman Holiday.

Nadine said...

I totally envy you! The city is so pretty!

KD said...

I like the second outfit and love the first, but the point is, you are living my dream. I am living vicariously through your amazing photographs and pretending that I am with you. Hungary! Egads.

Bella said...

Oh wow, these shots are so incredbile... and I love-love the yellow gloves!!!!

Penny said...

i agree! i can't even remember the last time i bought anything from the high street


wow, what a beautiful place!! the architecture is breathtaking!

Kvestelser said...

It sounds like a great trip! There seems to be alot of beautiful places there, seas, lakes, nature, buildings, and more! The dolls in the second picture are so peculiarly beautiful; the female doll in the middle is very pretty, but in an ugly, or manly, way... Hm... Have to gather my thoughts! Anyways, it seems like you had a great trip!

Emily said...

beautiful photographs! i love to travel, but do not get to do it as much as i would like to. you really hit the nail on the head about yearning to see so many countless places, but being limited by the constraints of one lifetime! enjoy the rest of your time in europe :)

sarah mendelsohn said...

i'm so jealous! i went to budapest in february and i loved it. great pictures. i hope you have fun! <3

Paloma said...

wow, Hungary looks really inspiring, tetric, magic

shopruche.com said...

Wow really cool pictures! I'm glad you got your purse in one piece too! Hope you like it as well as the skirt. I'm surprised it didn't take too long to ship to Greece!

apricot tea. said...

atelier said...

Lovely shots! I've never been in Hongary, but I am looking forward to it.

Songy said...

What are the chances.. I came across the word labyrinth three times in one sitting of blog reading this morning in 20 minutes. Now that made me sleepy I don't know if I can function properly at work today.

Your shots are kerazy cute and funny. Just wondering when are you going back home. Is it going to be sometimes in March? just curious.

Miss Karen said...

Wow Hungary looks like such a beautiful place. I love the undergrand labyrinth photo.

Creative Student said...

You've outdone yourself, Rebecca. All of these are absolutely beautiful. I wish I was there right now! I can't pick a favorite this time. Your eye is amazing.

copperoranges said...

if/when i study abroad in the fall you are going to have to coach me on being adventurous. for some reason as i get older i get increasingly reserved.

Amelia said...

I love these pictures so, so much. This looks like a fantastic side trip.

Eloquent words, wonderful pictures - especially love the ones of you in the circular window and the gloves and the suitably bemused face. It's always a pleasure to drop by your blog and see how you perceive your world:)

Miss Woo said...
