Budapest, Hungary!

I guess the title of this blog is a lie at the moment since I'm in Budapest!

I am writing so I don't pass out while we wait for people to get ready to go out tonight. I just might go... but I have to be awake to make that choice! 2 hours of sleep + leaving the house at 5:45am + 7 hour bus ride = very sleepy! But I like Budapest so far!

I definitely did not know that the name Budapest is derived from Buda and Pest, which are the names of the two parts of the city (across the river from one another). They were combined to form Budapest. I thought it was funny. =)

I ate the biggest meal ever! Crazy restaurant we went to today. Gigantic dishes... but I still managed to find room for dessert, of course. =)

Things here are even more inexpensive than they were in Prague... it's pretty ridiculous. Lunch for under $3 is pretty sweet.

This week should be fun. Tomorrow we go to the bathhouse. Should be an interesting experience I think.

Saw the castle today. Got several beautiful views of the city. I like it so far!
