It seems appropriate to begin my "Things to see and do in Budapest" post with a cow. Those of you who have been following my travel adventures know that I am frequently on a hunt for various animals of the art world. There was Cow Parade in New York, the horses of Saratoga, and the infamous Pike's Place pig hunt in Seattle (where I proudly photgraphed 88 of the 100 pigs hidden throughout the city). Imagine my pleasure to discover a stray cow in Pest! Sadly, he did not have any friends.
Alanna and Roxanne after a day at the Szechenyi baths. This was awesome! We were in 46 degree (Celsius) water, outside on a day that was below freezing. The steam was coming off the pools and we bathed as the sun set.
After j-walking across a major intersection (and stopping traffic!), Alanna thought a simulated picture of our game of Frogger was in order.
Gerbeaud's cafe. We ate breakfast here one day and watched the musical and light show another evening.

Apparently, the sculptor of the lions, upon realizing his lions were flawed (they have no tongues) was so distraught that he drowned himself in the Danube.
