In the morning, while Daniel Slaved Away at the ACH/ALLC paper, Maggie and John skipped out and went looking for Obuda, the Roman part of town. Apparently, the Romans took it with them when they left--we never did find it, but did some climbing up pretty streets like this. |
|
We also saw some interesting little cars like this one (which appears to have motorcycle envy). |
|
We saw Pest from the Buda side, |
|
and Buda from the Pest side. |
|
Then it was John's turn to Slave Away on the paper, while Maggie and Daniel went to see... |
|
Margaret Island (nice of them to name it after her, we thought). Ruins of churches, famous Budapest Spas (offering a number of therapies, including irrigation--don't ask), |
|
and statues of famous Hungarians. |
|
Right down the street from our hotel is this funky building--a theater. |
At the end of the day, we had a great meal at Gundel, a wonderful Hungarian restaurant with a string quartet (playing American movie tunes, for the most part).
