Recently, the weather in Budapest has been less than ideal. Imagine cold, wet temperatures and lots of wind. Wait - I'm from Chicago - I'm used to this! I mustered the strength to go outside with my camera, so here is a compilation of the last couple weeks.
The Belvárosi Plébánia templom is a church that exudes baroque architecture. It also has remains of 12th century Romanian walls, a 15th century fresco, and an Islamic alcove that actually faces Mecca.
I walked across the Erzsébet Bridge to see the Szent Gellért emlékmü, which I quickly learned is the most un-photogenic monument ever.
The walk up towards the monument was beautiful and yet again required more hiking. I can get a workout here without even planning on it!
I usually can't decipher the graffiti in Budapest, but this example is quite clear.
Szent Gellért - a fanatical convent who was thrown off this hill for reasons I am unsure of.
The first statue I've seen which is impossible to see all 360 degrees of. Intriguing and frustrating...
Took this one while leaning the majority of my body weight over a small iron fence blocking off the steep decline and highway below. Yet, still no face...
Oh well, I'll just go find sneaky views of Parliament!
