Sightseeing in Budapest

Thursday 9/20/12

We headed to Budapest via the Train from Gyor.  Budapest is a very large city with over 2 million people.  There are many old Historic Buildings in Budapest including a Basilica, Parliament, Buda Castle, Hero's Square, Monuments to the fallen in WWII and the Holocaust Victims.

St. Stephen's Basilica started in 1860-1905 completed 
Carmen & Ryan at the Shoes on The Danube Memorial to the holocaust victims that were shot into the river during 1944-45 WWII

Ryan shaking hands with former President Reagan in recognition of
helping to end  communism

Historic Buildings at every turn many built in the 1500-1700's

It was a great day jam packed with sights all day and into the evening. On to the next adventure.  Catch you Later Gator  :)
