Budapest, Hungary 2018

This visit was actually in 2017, but if I change the title the link which I sent everybody will no longer work-so I'm keeping it simple to find. Budapest is a town with two personalities-2 old towns of Buda and Pest, across the river from each other. The river was a culture barrier for centuries before the mechanized world and improved bridges tied the cities together and the names were blended. Many civilizations have ruled it- the Celts, the Ottomans, Turks, Romans, Habsburgs, Germans, Soviets, and today's self government.
