More from Budapest
We are sore and tired from walking, which shows how out of shape we are. Today, we walked up to the Castle District, which is on top of a steep hill. There is a funicular railway you can take to the top of the hill, but it is cash only, and we couldn't find an ATM. I was disappointed, because I have never been on a funicular. Anyway, we climbed the hill. The views of Budapest and the Danube were amazing. The architecture and statues were fantastic too. We have nearly filled up our camera's memory card, so we will have to delete some of the pictures that are blurry or sub par.

After a brief rest, we went to a couple of museums. The Terror House museum is hands-down the coolest museum I've ever seen, if you can call a museum devoted to a truly horrific time period "cool." It is a new museum (opened in 2002) so there is a lot of multimedia involved in the exhibits. But it was very sobering and depressing. I show my own ignorance when I say that I do not fully understand what happened behind the iron curtain, but I understand a lot more now.

After a much-needed coffee and sandwich, we went to the Museum of Fine Art, which had some very nice artwork, particularly Spanish painting.

We have had two excellent dinners here. Last night I had breast and stuffed leg of goose, and tonight I had duck breast. Victor has had seafood and goose too. The food is very hearty and quite well prepared.

My time in the business center is running short, so I will do another update as soon as I can!
