Trip Pictures (Part one)
Well it has been a long few days adjusting back to eastern standard time, starting class and working full time. It was a fun trip and nice to see @ladycroft, @lizabeth, and @john. I was a little worried about how meeting up might work with only one of us having a phone. But despite our lateness at Zagreb airport to meet @ladycroft it went pretty smoothly. Anyway I'll let the pictures do the talking.
On the Danube across from the parliament building
Oh absinthe, the headaches you create.
Phone box and Metro station, Budapest
I love the separate traffic lights for bikers
@lizabeth with cotton candy the size of her head
Szechenyi Thermal Baths at the city park, Budapest
I have no idea what this building is, I just thought it looked cool
view of the Danube from the Citadella
Whats left of my gulyas leves. I was told by the guy who served this to us that Hungarians take a shot of Palinka( which is a fruit brandy) after they eat gulyas leves.
Chain Bridge at night, Budapest
mmmm meggy minifank!! Which is mini doughnuts with sour cherry sauce.
The streets of Tokaj in Northeastern Hungary. Home of the world famous dessert wine Tokaji. And to think I used to hate dessert wine.
Rakoczi Pince, Tokaj. This is the largest and most famous wine cellar in Tokaj. They store and age wines from the Hetszolo Vineyards.
The tasting room at Rakoczi Pince, Tokaj. This is where we sampled some really awesome wines.
Gyomolcsleves, don't ask me to pronounce this, Hungarians couldn't understand me when I tried. It's a cold fruit soup that is served in the summer. It varied everywhere we tried it. Its basically a creamy soup made with sour cream and pretty much any kind of fruit can be added. Towards the end of summer when sour cherries are in season they are used more often than the pears we encountered frequently. This one also had whipped cream, black currents and blueberries. One place we had an awesome one(I don't have a pic), but is was a lime and peach cream soup with mint sorbet, absolutely delicious.
