Day 1, Budapest

Yesterday we left from RDU to fly to Budapest, Hungary. We arrived today at 8:25 am and checked into our hotel, Casa Sol Hotel, and then decided to explore the city. First we decided to get some lunch so we stopped into one of the local restaurants. After lunch we decided to visit Hero's Square. Hero's Square is the largest square in Hungary. The statues in the square are famous kings, governors, and other people important to Hungarian history. We felt honored to be standing in such a place of artistic beauty. In the exact middle of the park a 36 meter high statue of the Archangel Gabriel. At the foot of every statue is the most important event of the persons life. Also we were able to visit an uknown soldiers tomb. After we visited the magnificent Hero's square it was quite late in the afternoon. Instead of visiting another attraction we decided to explore the city as a whole. We went to a nice shopping mall for a bit then stopped into a cafe for a snack. After that we decided to go back to the hotel and get some rest for tommorow.
