Came in from Prague
I have some meetings in the morning and hopefully, the afternoon off to look around, never been here. Took a few pics, I'll take some more tomorrow. There's a big old castle ruin on top of the hill across the Danube River in Buda that I want to look at. BTW, the city gets its name from two cities that joined, one on each side of the Danube, Buda+aPest, if you didn't know that.
There is a big Van Gogh exhibit at the museum that I might stop by if I have time.
I think this is called Hero's Square, (War veterans) and it dates back to the late 1800's but a pic I saw in the hotel that looks different. Looks like an OK city, but not the beauty of Prague. As I understand it, Hitler spared Prague from bombing because he wanted to live there. I believe Budapest got the crap hammered out of it in WWII by the Russians, Germans, British, Americans, etc. I think I saw what looked like a bunch of Soviet occupation-era block apartment housing on the way in from the airport.
