Ok, this post is mostly pictures. Ryan & I headed to Budapest for him to take the PSAT at an American School. After the test we stopped at the Monumento Park. We had a great time taking pictures with the statues representing communism during it's peak. There is a park where many of the monuments are preserved. I don't know the story behind many of the statues so if you want more info check out the weblink below. Also there was a film in the barracks on " The Life of a Secret Agent". Interesting looking back on the technology of the past and where it is now, almost comical in reflection, but scary during the 50's. Check out our new ride the Trabant!!
