Budapest, Hungary (Aug. 6 -9)

Budapest, Hungary is a city that is centered around the Danube River. One side of the river is called Buda; the other side is called Pest. Put them together and you get Budapest. Cool huh? This city is amazing! I found myself standing on one of the bridges at night with my mouth open thinking "Wow"! At night, the city works its magic. The Buda side of the city is full of hills with castles, forts, and catherdals all lit up. The Pest side is dominated by the Parliment buildings plus more cathedrals and impressive hotels all lit as well.

Mom and I went to Budapest to meet up with one of her colleagues and discuss ESL ministries and network with other missionaries. Praise the Lord! I wouldn't mind meeting in this city again to do business. At night, we took walks around the city (can you say many blisters), found cool restaurants to eat at, and relaxed. And of course my statement every night was "ice cream sounds good!"
