This was Pecs, where Emilie is living and going to school until December. Her town was super quaint and very historical. Take note of the round building in the background with the green roof.
The round building from the previous photo is the church that has preserved. The still hold mass inside of it however it is a touristic site since half of it is one religion and the other half is a different religion...but I forget which ones. I'm lighting a prayer candle inside.
In Budapest... the amazing castle looking building is their Parlement building. Not too shabby.
I arrived in Budapest two days ago to the scorching heat, it sure is a change from sweden's none stop rain. There was a driver at the airport waiting for me with my name on a little board just like in the movies. We then stopped to pick up some other people including a couple and two guys. Most people in Hungary do not speak english, including my driver, however one of the guys we picked up has been living in london for the past two years so his english was beneficial to me. He was very helpful in answering some of my questions and even taught me some of the History of pecs. It was about a two hour drive into pecs (that is where my friend Emilie is going to school) the town in on a hill reminding me of the old villages in greece that are perched on cliff sides. The town is so quaint I am really enjoying it, the town square especially which is in its center is probably the most gorgeous and majestic part and I have found myself frequenting it. This morning however we are off for a new adventure in Budapest. There are five of us going and none of us have ever been so we are excited to explore the natural baths, parks and monuments. Then finally on Sunday I am off to Colchester.
