Hey kids. We're in Budapest. Food is awesome, like really awesome and quite cheap. We ate a full meal of Goulash (the hungarian special) and a Chicken cordonblu concoction that pleased the tongue and curbed the hunger, for a grand total of 2632.00 ft, around $13, including two pintts of beer of course. As our freind on the train informed us, and our sightseeing confirmed, the city which was once the beloved beautiful vacation spot for Ernest Hemingway is now quite dreary and still dealing with the aftermath of the Iron Curtain and communist control. We're leaving ffor Vienna tonight, then on to Prague in the morning or the day after depending on Vienna. We can't go straight to Vienna becasuse we whould have to travel through Slovakia which of course is not a valid travel country on our Eurail Pass. Of course it's not. That would be too easy!

After the day around Budapest, our bellies are full, the people were very kind and helpful, and it has been nice to put a face to the Hungarian city, but I don't think we'll be returning anytime soon.
