Budapest, Day 2

Today was a history lesson. Took a drive out to the Godollo Royal Palace. Franz Joseph+ his wife Elizabeth, known as Sissi was a Habsburg King...of both Austria AND Hungary. She is beloved here. She was assassinated in 1898. Her name was Elizabeth Wittelsbach. Her son Rudolph was also assassinated but some think it was suicide. This Baroque Palace is a love story for Sissi. Random photos from around the Palace + the grounds. Sissi's three favorite vacation destinations are Corfu, Madeira and Kensington. She has good taste. We've been to all three.

And the last 2 shots are (1) a random beautiful building in downtown Budapest and (2) a slide for kids to take down to the subway. Crazy. And the day is capped off with chicken paprikash for dinner. But of course. O Istenem. (Hungarian... look it up) Czytaj więcej
