I have my camera back! I went to Budapest 2 weekends ago and left my camera there, but I have it now and am back in business! The first picture is Budapest at night (obviously!). I was staying with a friend of mine, Gabriella, who works
occasionally as a tour guide in Budapest so I got a world class tour of the city, but at a comfortable pace this time. One of the places we visited was a museum the size of a small town. It is made up of buildings from all over Hungary in different architectural styles
dating back several centuries. They were all transplanted to this location from various places around the country, and they even have some animals that were common at the time, including pigs with hair! Neither Gabi nor myself had ever seen
one, although her mother later told us that is part of what we ate for dinner on Sunday! Her mother prepared a traditional Hungarian dinner, and I have not seen so much food in one place in a long time. Everything was great, and it was nice to get some spicier food for a
change. The last picture is of Heroes' Square. There are a total of 12 statues which
represent important people in the history of Hungary, including St. Stephen (born in 1000), the first King of Hungary. Only the right hand side is pictured here. Throughout the city you can see references to St. Stephen, who is symbolized by a double cross. Budapest is really a beautiful city, and like most places, you can not really take it in all at once. I need to go back there again to see some of the sights that I missed this time for sure.
