Day Four

I'm back! Sorry for the delay, we had a busy night of packing a few nights ago, a trip from Budapest to Amsterdam, and a few full days of sightseeing in The Kingdom of Friesland (according to Grandpa Vandermeer, the land of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob). Let me narrate this fourth day in Hungary before I tell you anymore about our travels in the Netherlands.

This picture below shows you the Parliament building in Budapest.
I hope you aren't sick of pictures of us yet.
This wonderful couple is Jenn and Dan, my wonderful sis and bro in law (Jeremy's sister).
This is a picture of the Buda Reformed Church. It is on the Buda side of Budapest.
Another view of the church.
Jennifer and I waited outside and learned about male social norms in Budapest. Everyone else went inside to learn more about the church.


Can you find these songs in the gray book?
The church is in the round as you can see from this picture.
After visiting the Reformed Church, we took a suburban railway to Szentendre. This is a church we found there.
We found these cool peppers or "paprika" as the Hungarians call all peppers.
Justin, our tour guide wanted to add some excitement to the blog.
Another picture of the market areas.
We were rewarded with delicious gelato at the end of a warm day in Szentendre.
After getting back to Budapest, we stopped by the Nyugati Train Station. This was built by Gustave Eiffel, also the builder of the Eiffel tower. The king used to hang out here before taking the train.
Now, a super fancy McDonald's resides here. Check out that McCafe'.
Finally, we ended our day by visiting Starbucks in the Westend Mall. It was a highlight of our warm day.
