Budapest is magnificent! I arrived from Sweden around two after a delayed flight out of Copenhagen. The pilot actually came on and said that there was something wrong with the right engine and that a mechanic is on his way...reassuring. So I'm happy to say that I'm typing this to you from my safe air BandB. She doesn't have wifi so I can't post any pictures tonight but I'll work on it for tomorrow.
After I got here and settled in I took a three hour evening stroll up to the castle and down into the city center. The castle is amazing and with quite a feminine feel to it. My favorite fountain was of a woman holding a plate with water pouring down. I'll try to post it. Glancing up toward the castle from the city center I saw another statue of a dancing woman (or at least that is how I interpreted it( btw this keyboard sucks!
I was walking up the opposite side of the river and found a flier for a lovely concert tonight at eight but didn't make it because I walked the wrong way down the street but no worries. I'm going to try to make a concert tomorrow night at the academy of archtecture. I'll give you the skinny after the show. So I meandered up toward my street and had some dinner at a pizza/beer joint called Marxis. Yea on purpose. There was lots of grafitti on the booths which were separated by chicken and barbed wire with a red star hanging from the cieling. A beer cost me a buck fifty. UMMHUMM and it was good. Gotta go back there.
I'm gonna hit the hay, my head is still a little swimmy from the airplane ride...maybe yoga will help
good night!

How are the Budapestens (wanted to type that)? I would think the Marxis Café beer would be German served by an old guy with a long grey beard.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of beer did you order?? Shiva says hello!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks mom for letting me know that the replies weren't going through. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteThe people of Budapest are nice enough. It's difficult for me to read facial expressions which might just be a city thing. I ordered myself a Marxis beer which was delicious and I was really thirsty. It was served by a middle aged hipster. The same guys have owned the place for 22 years so at one time I'm sure he was just a hipster.
Did he have a one gear bicycle and facial hair?
ReplyDeleteAt one time he did have a fixie and twisty mustache. Now he is on rollerblades;)
