Well, Dad just touched down in LA. It was a blast having him here, and getting to show him around the city. I got to take him to my favorite restaurants, Darkness, Marxim, and Paprika! And show him all the amazing things that make me love Budapest so much.
We had a great time in Vienna; the hotel was gorgeous, as expected, and in the best possible location. We saw some amazing sights, although we almost missed our train because of the idiot ticket guy…literally handwriting our ticket and taking his sweet time. Yes, one would think that there would be a computer system for such things, but alas, one would be mistaken.
We had Wiener schnitzel, and ironically some of the best goulash our first night. We decided to get tickets for the performance of Mozart’s requiem in St Stephen’s Cathedral. It was stunningly beautiful, although even with at least a thousand people in the church; it was still about 50 degrees. Absolutely worth it though, the most spectacular thing I’ve ever seen.
We visited Schonbrun Palace, but decided not to go inside because “We don’t do lines.” Great choice actually, we wandered around the grounds and got some amazing pictures, which I will post as soon as Dad emails them to me. Vienna was gorgeous; so clean and beautiful, I kept expecting Mickey to jump out from around the corner, because it really looks like a something Disney would have built. Which really makes me ponder why in the world anyone would go to Euro Disney…? Anyway, I will expound more stories later, now I have to get to my fabulous art history class.
Also, I just managed to make some rather yummy fried potatoes, so I’m quite proud of myself right now.
Hungarian word of the day:
Burgonya or Krumpli “potato”
