Budapest, Hungary...

Chris and I ventured out in the bone-chilling cold, cut you like a knife, wind to visit St. Steven's Basilica. Quite beautiful!

We walked down the avenue to City Park. This was Hero's Square...

The castle in the park...
The castle's church...

Though we were enjoying all the traditional food of the Eastern/Central European countries we were visiting, we were both jonesing for Mexican food. Believe it or not, we found it in the middle of Budapest. Now, our expectations weren't very high, especially after the terrible "mexican" restaurants in Dublin...and our expectations were not met in Budapest. But it did the trick for the time being. We were in Slidell, LA two days later and definitely got our fill of descent Mexican food there!

I tell you what though, Budapest had some magnificent homemade pasta nuggets and beef goulash along with pickled sides and homemade lemonades at this one restaurant (whose name I can not recall at this moment). It was a bit out of our price range, but totally worth it. We were serenaded by "gypsy music" and the waiter was very charming and did not care one bit that were were Americans who spoke no Hungarian! We enjoyed Budapest very much!
