Saturday in Budapest

Hi all,
I will add pictures back in the states. It is too difficult to do now as i have taken around a thousand in about 5 days. This morning me and Kitti drove to Budapest in her ˝smart˝ car. It is one of those small two door cars that we all keep taking pictures of when we see them. Kitti´s father´s house here is higher up in Buda i think (might be pest tho) and you can see down below to the basilica and parliament and the university and all of the buildings down below along the Danube.
We walked around Budapest and saw there liberty statue, and went inside St. Stevens Basilica as well as seeing many of the beautiful buildings. We also went to Hero´s square and saw all of the demonstrators. Because of the holiday today celebrating the revoltuion many people here are out protesting and such. We saw a long line of about 100 or maybe more motorcycles riding with various hungarian flags in the center of the city. I am not sure whether it was a protest or parade but i have a video clip of the chaos which i can put up later. Hope everyone is having a fun Saturday and see everyone tomorrow in Budapest :).
