Sunday September 21 (evening)
We went on a tour of Budapest today which was fabulous! We were in a coach bus and got to see all of the highlights and get out at some of the more important places and look around and take pictures! We visited the Helleman Square (It started with an H but I guessed on the rest of the letters. You try listening to a Hungarian man speaking German), St. Matthias Church, and the fortress (I'd don't know the name of it) and we drove by the Parliament building and the castle which I hope to go back to on Wednesday! Here are a handful of pictures from the day!!
(The Square)
One of the coolest parts about Budapest is that is used to be Buda and Pest. The Danube River (which also runs through Germany) runs straight through the city which is what splits the city. So, there are beautiful bridges and great views of the buildings from the river and the other side of the city. And even an island in the middle of the river!!

Anyways, so we changed some money and Perry and I spent the afternoon checking out the shopping so that we can buy the most for the least money on Wednesday!! But it was so wonderful to walk into stores speaking German and not English! I swear we get more respect as Germans than Americans!! Regardless, it was fun to interact with people and pretend like we come from this half of the world.
We are now back in the hotel flipping back and forth between Hungarian handball and an American movie dubbed in German. Wonderful! Perry and I are going to take long, long, long hot showers and not worry about the water bill!!! Talk to y’all soon!!
