Culture: "Adoption"

We've been to Budapest, we've been to Prague, and soon we are going to Vienna. I was organizing my photos of 2009 in the first two European capitals mentioned, and it brought to mind discussions with Hungarian colleagues about Prague "versus" Budapest. Budapest generally came out 'behind' in those conversations.













But in viewing the photos (OK, it was lousy weather in Prague), I 'adopt' Budapest. Maybe because, even though I've only been there four times in my life, the city (and, of course, the country of Hungary) has made such a strong impression on me.

So here, for your review, are (mostly) my photos of Budapest and Prague in March, 2009. Just click on the link to go to a Picasa slide show. I'll admit upfront -- I vote for Budapest! I'll tell you that the cobblestones are somehow harder in Prague!

And, of course, Eger is my favorite...hands down.
