Museum, La Boutique Cafe, dinner w Sandy

We had a nice slow start today. We were up late and took our time getting on our way to the House of Terror Museum. It gives the history of the Nazi Germany and Soviet occupations and the atrocities carried out against the Hungarian population. It left us heavy hearted. So many people suffered and/or died. We walked to LA Boutique by Meinhart recommended by Susie & Andy. The pastries are world class, literally. We met the Chef and his partner who owns the Boutique side of the Cafe. The coffee and desserts were outstanding. We walked back to the apartment and rested and packed before heading to dinner with a friend, Sandy, from my hometown of Creston now living in Budapest. I have not seen him since he graduated high school. Sandy treated us to the best dinner we have had since we started this vacation. It was a traditional Hungarian Restaurant. We tried 3 Hungarian desserts and a plum aperitif that was very strong. We had such a nice time catching up and asking lots of questions about Hungary. Sandy drove us to his family home for a nightcap. Their home and gardens are so beautiful in Buda. Sandy& Erica have lovely artwork from a relative of Sandy's who lived in Budapest. Sandy drove us back to our apartment around midnight. Such a great evening to end our time in Budapest.Leer más
