Day 67: Cultured as Hell

We went to the Budapest Opera House to see a ballet! The ballet was A Midsummer Night's Dream and we got cheap tickets because the coordinator's sister was in the ballet. I kind of messed up which resulted in me arriving a few minutes late. Fortunately, they still let me in, I just had to stand in back for the first act. So the ballet was great and totally understandable since there are no words. But remember that part about the coordinator's sister being in the ballet? We also got to hang out with her and go backstage during intermission!
