Budapest
Hungary
Jun 28 — Jul 4
Late June in Budapest means the light stays past nine and everything looks a little overexposed, a little consequential. She is coming off Sicily — all that heat and ruin and argument with history — and Budapest will feel like a different kind of weight, the kind that comes from a century of being reorganized by other people's ideas. She is looking for the seam where the Austro-Hungarian thing ends and the thing underneath it begins.
