Castle District of Buda

Here we are in Budapest. Konrad was able to take a morning before talks and go into the Castle District of Buda with me. Budapest is one city now but at one time it was Buda on the east side of the Danube River and Pest on the west. The city is much larger than we expected. Definately a city that has seen the hardship of wars and political unrest and still is recovering.
Here is Konrad after several days without a razor. As our bags have never come and obviously are not going too, I guess I am going to have to go buy him one before he gives his talk here.








Here is looking from one castle across the Danube to another.


Beautiful church which they are renovating. There was extensive renovations going on everywhere.

Night Train

We took the night train to Budapest. My first train ride!! It was very cozy and I actually slept pretty well. We woke to the scene of fresh spring green Hungarian countryside out of our window. It was just lovely. Here is a picture of me now at Day 5 with no make up or curling iron. This is our little train compartment.
