About a week and a half ago, a couple of my friends and I took a day trip into Budapest, and I’m finally getting a moment to share some pictures from that trip! Budapest – which is technically the two cities of Buda and Pest separated by the Danube River – is absolutely stunning with its Old World architecture around every corner. But then, that’s Europe for you, right? That’s part of why I love Europe – history (in everything) is alive and well and ready for the taking for visitors with a penchant for that stuff (me!). This was more of an exploratory trip for us, to help us figure out the metro system, the general atmosphere of the city, and what it had to offer. I’d call it a success, and I can’t wait to get back.
These pictures were taken with an iPhone camera, so the contrasts and exposures aren’t the best, but I’m planning on taking my big camera with me on a proper visit to Budapest soon (once I learn how to better use it, of course).
Whoa!!! Good thing to know, who would have imagine? The derivation of the name of the city Budapest. I’m glad you are truly enjoying your European indoctrination. We are proud of you.
I thought the naming of the city was quite genius, too. Thank you, Dad, I’m enjoying it with the support of the best family ever! Love you!
Full Momma heart!! Love them all, such exquisite pictures!! Counting down….to enjoying these stunning places with you!
Thank you, Mom! We had such a fun time – it’ll be exciting when you are here too! Love you!
