My parents came to visit this weekend, and so I finally got to do some of the touristy things one never does when one lives somewhere. The best of the new sites are below:
- City Park- so relaxing. We sat on a bench in front of the lake for awhile, and then went to a picnic table and played cards. It was probably 60+ degrees, and I'm hoping I got a tan :)
- City Hall Market- huge market with meats, fruits and vegetables, as well as Hungarian souvenirs.
- Vaci utca- so I just found out this weekend that Vaci utca is actually twice as long as I had previously thought. And I thoroughly enjoyed the "new" second half.
- Opera House- truly gorgeous, I just wished I liked theater/opera/ballet/anything else that could possibly be performed at an opera house so I could get dressed up and go back for a performance. It was truly that beautiful.
- Ethnography Museum- a glimpse into life in Hungary prior to the modern conveniences of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Next on the tourist itinerary: Salzburg, Prague, Berlin, Brussels and Amsterdam. Woo! More upon my return to Budapest on April 13.
