Budapest...possibly my new favorite?

Wow what a beautiful city (sorry I apologize for having a limited vocabulary especially when it comes to descriptive adjectives). I find it difficult to concisely portray a city within a couple sentences or even paragraphs, but I still try.

While I was in Budapest the weather was pleasant albeit a little chilly with gusty winds. Had to buy a sweatshirt to survive the Budapest nights. My original plan was to chase the sun so I'd have a lighter pack on my shoulders, but the sun was too fast (or I was too slow). And I was told most people overpack when backpacking, but I think I took their advice a little too closely :)

Great view of the city.

Budapest has great traditional hearty food and they definitely enjoy meat, so not the place for vegetarians. Luckily I'm a carnivore so I had no problem. Only issue was I struggled to push forward and stay active after each meal. Food coma every time.

Heart attack waiting to happen. Basically a donut, garlic sauce, sour cream, and cheese.  Yea that`s how they roll in Budapest.

Beef stew with pasta. So yummy.

And the Turkish Baths...heavenly. Need I say more. Just wished I had more than 2 hours to enjoy all the pools and saunas. I did come out looking like a wrinkled prune though...a glowing, fully relaxed, and stress free prune.
