The rain can dampen our clothes and make my hair frizzy but it can't dampen our spirits in the amazing city of...Prague!! Upon arrival we comenced our second wave of feeding frenzy (the first was in Italy). All we have done since our night train pulled in this morning is eat vast amounts of carnie food sold on the street for easter celebrations. We're talking meat cooked over an open wood fire, chocolate dipped strawberries on a stick, and roasted nuts. Mmmmm. That's just a sampling of the things we've eaten. If we told you everything you might be disgusted with us....enough about food though! The city is beautiful and full of energy and hordes of people. We thought budapest might be full of easter celebrations, but it was pretty quiet for such a big city.Turns out the party was here! We did enjoy many things in Budapest, though. The thermal baths, sightseeing, and the english movie theater. We enjoyed the movie theater so much we went two days in a row, to see "Source Code" and "Unknown". You may think its crazy to go see movies on a european vaction, but we needed a break...and it was so nice after being deprived of american entertainment for a month. I'm not down playing all of our amazing experiences, just saying it was a nice addition to our travels. Don't judge, okay! :)
P.S. Thanks for all of your ideas. We have narrowed it down to Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland. I think there is some more narrowing down to do. Let's be honest, we only have six days...
Budapest Parliment building.
Fisherman's Bastion- One of our favorite places in Budapest.
The thermal baths. The four men near the railing, sufferring from the beginning stages of skin cancer are playing chess while soaking in the bath. Looks like this game has lasted for a really long time, judging by the brown crispiness....
Snack food at the movie theater. Just like home!
Eden was on the top bunk during our night train ride. Much better than the other night train where we didn't have beds. However, the four star hotel we stayed in the night before was miles above this. (It was cheaper at the hotel too!)
Eden enjoying an elevated experience.
Hey look, I'm there too!
Rain gear, the first time in a month that we have had to bust it out. No complaints though, it was only one day out of thirty.
Apparently I'm a tough looking hombre in sepia. Thats what keeps Eden coming back for more, me, in sepia.
The last thing we ate before going to bed, and a definite repeat on tomorrow's list of amazingly good food we will be consuming.
