Fun: To Budapest

We're heading to Budapest for the weekend, taking the train. We've figured out how to ask for the tickets, and written it down just in case. I sound good to myself when I practice Hungarian (Magygar) in my room, but somehow all but the pleasantries become garbled out in public. Oh, well, this is only Week 1~

I was in Budapest for a few days in 2004. The slide show on the blog is from that trip. I expect we'll have some new pictures from this trip to load on Monday or Tuesday. I made sure to look for a hotel in the same general area as I was before, so I can get oriented as easily as possible. The weather is grey, but relatively warm. They say the snow from Britain is on it's way to central Europe, but the forecast doesn't indicate that until Monday.

So off we go to see the Castle, the bridges, the Great Market, and Parliament. Budapest is a great walking city, with the utcas (streets) and the ters (squares).
