The mall in Bratislava.
A heroic statue of those who "gave their arms for their country." Bratislava
Rolling hills away from the Danube - Hungary
Not a particularly good picture - but, I'd been looking down at maps and struggling through traffic, then looked up and thought: "Oh my, that's an interesting building."
Iced tea, wine, twilight, a beautiful lighted bridge, and an iPad.
Parliament lit up at night.
Parliament from up on the hill in Buda - at the "Fishermen's Bastion" - either a memorial to the Fishermen who helped defend the city from invaders, or the restaurant in front of the Hilton Hotel.
Budapest is a pretty cool city. Enjoyed it a lot.
Went to a concert in a medium sized church this evening: organ, trumpet, violin, soprano and tenor vocalists. Hard to imagine the ensemble but thoroughly enjoyable. Great fun.
I continue to be impressed how little Budapest is on the American radar screen, but how much history is here and how much current economic importance it has - as well as the touristy stuff.
