1. Wie alle anderen, die in der Gegend rund um die Bucht von San Francisco leben, bin ich am 9. September auf dem Mars aufgewacht.

I’m part Hungarian, and my husband, kids, and I had just spent a week in Budapest trying—without much success—to track down where my family came from. We were now on our way to Italy.
