Hungry for Hungary

Today, at around 9:45 a.m, we arrived at the train station and were headed off to Budapest! We got here around 3 hours later (Nick had brought the DVD set collection of all the Mavs NBA Finals games from last year against the Heat and we watched epic game 2 which I had missed due to our flight to Russia then, so it was soo awesome seeing it). Their currency here is crazy...1000 ft here (not feet), is about $4 US money so when things cost like 2349 ft...the math just hurts. We ate a local place for lunch/snack, and I seriously had the BEST thing ever. It was a pancake type thing with queso, spinach, cheese, I added some hot sauce in there...yummy! Did you know that there is a bridge that connects Buda to Pest? Who would've guessed?! We took a cart deal up for a spectacular view, saw the parliament building (from the outside), and took a boat tour in the evening where we learned about Budapest's history. Even Sisi from Vienna (she was an empress) called this place her 2nd home. After going to the square, browsing around in stores, and eating a nice club sandwich for dinner (after we stopped by a "must go-to" dessert place), we're back at the hotel about to embark on whatever is in store tomorrow! Can't wait!
