Budapest should change it's name to, "how about that view"


DISCLAIMER: Because I don't want to run into problems I will use the name Rey of Sunshine, for the person that hosted me. 

Budapest, Hungary is an absolutely beautiful city. It definitely delivered my best photo yet and also provided a time to reflect, talk, and think. I've said a million times I'm not a tourist on this trip, and that I want to be a local and eat native foods, hang with the locals, and this stop was just that. #WhenInBuda

Story:

I'm really enjoying meeting new people, the fact that you have to showcase yourself to earn trust and friendship is fun. Budapest delivered one of the greatest people I've ever met,  Rey of Sunshine. I call her this because no matter what she can brighten your day. 

The first day I spent in Buda I walked like a savage though lol. I've really come to appreciate our train system back home in NYC. Literally things are only steps away from stops haha. As it is I'm lazy too... bad combination. Rey of Sunshine is ready for anything though, she took me over the bridge and I saw the most breathtaking view of my life. 


From what I've been told the way the city was built was greatly influenced by the sunset and the sunrise. So you see magnificent views to start and end your day.

Beer was about $1 and of course I had my share of the rations haha. It was good beer too and although public drinking is forbidden there's no greater time spent than in the shade looking at the water with a brew. Of course I experienced the night life with Rey's friends, and it was Crazy. 

Apparently when you're out you drink rosé wine spritzers. It gets you drunk pretty quickly and it is extremely cheap. Also be sure to have a shot of the national alcohol. 

WARNING! It burns, not horrible but it will sober you up some haha. 

If you go, head over to the national garden and theatre too. I'd say it was the coolest thing I saw. Imagine if the White House were built to look like it was on a boat... EXACTLY. 

Rey of Sunshine did say one thing that that reminded me of what my father always says to me. "Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers." In other words appreciate what's going on now, don't worry about things of past, and remember you can't control the future, only influence it. 

Life's about the story, make sure yours is the most interesting.
