Last weekend, Eszter had a high school re-union in Budapest, so we took a short trip to the city! We were able to visit the castle district on Saturday. It was a short trip, but I now have a list of places to visit, and I know how to use the public transit systems like the tram and metro, so maybe next time I will be able to see even more!
Here are a few pictures. They are totally out of order, but arranging pictures on blogger is not my forte. Hopefully I'll write more later about these locations' history and significance.

| The Chain Bridge: One of the many bridges that connects Buda to Pest |
 |
| The changing of the guards at Buda Castle. Unfortunately, my video didn't turn out. |
 |
| On the metro |
 |
| My favorite: the Fisherman's Bastion |
 |
| Castle ruins from the middle ages! |
 |
| This old car is from East Germany. Its metal is so thin that people joke about it being made out of paper. |
 |
| Matthias Church. I remember learning is history that Gothic churches were designed to draw eyes towards heaven. |

| Buda Castle |
 |
| A building in the castle district. Can you guess what those holes are from? |
 |
| While we were gone, Hanga made a delicious cake with her grandmother! |
