Boo Da Peshhht

Kim's dad is of Hungarian descent (explains all the J's in the last name) and he wanted to visit the motherland while he was on this side of the earth, so we spent four days in Budapest. What an incredible city it is! I had heard that it was nice, but it was much better than I expected. And now I can't decide if I love Budapest, Athens, or Prague more.

There is a river that runs right through the city and separates the Buda side from the Pest side, both of which are beautiful. The architecture is amazing and there are statues and monuments everywhere. We saw a lot of great stuff, but there's still plenty we missed out on so we may come back sometime in the future. The one thing I really want to see but didn't get a chance to is the communist monument graveyard, which I guess is where they tossed all the old statues that used to be around. There are also some caves that you can explore, so I'd really like to do that as well.

Check the flickr page for some of the pics:
