to Hungary and beyond....

Budapest has been very cold but a lot of fun. Seeing family and getting time to spend with them was really valuable.

After leaving the airport we went to an authentic Hungarian place and had dinner. I tried veal for the first time, surprisingly I really enjoyed it. It came with his noodle dumpling thing and a really fantastic sauce. Mmm.. For dessert we came home and had Hungarian style ice cream- that was very rich and creamy (much better than Blue Bell if you ask me). Over dessert we planned the next couple of days.

I got to visit a lot of historical places in Budapest. There was fresh snow on the ground so the pictures turned out really great.

Hero's Square

This place is a remembrance of the unknown soldiers and the Kings throughout history who have had a part in developing Hungary. Each kings statue has a picture below it that tells a piece of the history.







The Basillica















Parliament




Castles and Palaces

The architect here is so beautiful and rich. It adds a lot to the scenery and it all tells a story. I saw so many things I've forgotten which was which but the pictures are too beautiful not to share.















At this particular place (all the pics above) was a statue of Anonymous...you know the guy who wrote all those poems and has tons of quotes ;) Here he is....



A Palace













I even got to eat a little bit of Tex-Mex here in Hungary. I'll admit the burrito was pretty tasty at this place:

My time in Budapest is up- time sure did fly. I'm headed back to Paris tomorrow to catch my flight back to the States on Friday. Next time I blog will more than likely be from Texas!!
