Greetings from Budapest

On July 20th Jennifer, Matthew & Nicole flew from Dublin, Ireland to Budapest, Hungary.

For two days we toured Budapest riding around town on a Hop-on, Hop Off "Double Decker" Maroon Bus.  We learned that Buda and Pest are actually two cities that straddle the Danube River.  We visited the famous Turkish thermal Szechenyi Baths for a soak on a hot day.  We went to a Hungarian Folk Dance show where ladies danced with carafes of "Bulls Blood" wine on their heads.  Favorite sights included the  Fisherman's Bastion, Chain Bridge, Parliament and St. Stephan's Cathedral.
