Friday was a very busy day. We started off with what I thought was a 1.5 hour walking tour called Welcome to Budapest Historic Center. It was very interesting and I learned a lot about the history of Budapest and the rest of the country. The guide also touched on some of the cultural heritage and language. As we walked, and walked, and walked I looked at the time and noticed how long we had been on the tour. It had been 1.5 hours and we were far from being done. Turns out it was a 2.5 hour tour. We had plans for the afternoon but our timing was flexible. After finishing off the walking tour we raced back to the apartment to grab what we needed for our next activity. We were going to the Széchenyi Bath. Thermal baths are a big part of the culture here so we wanted to check one out. We chose this bath because it’s the biggest and most popular. We took a metro train to the bath, and we were sitting by a couple from Cleveland. I mentioned we have a good friend from there and the woman asked me her name. She knew or knew of my friend and her family. It’s a small world. After enjoying the baths we returned to our apartment to shower and dress for a belated anniversary dinner. It was delicious. It had been a full day. As we were getting ready to leave the restaurant I got a message from an acquaintance who lives here telling me that he was at a wine bar down the street from our apartment and he was waiting for another acquaintance who had just arrived in town for a couple of weeks. I knew we would be seeing them, but I wasn’t expecting it today. Yes, let’s go! We had a nice visit with them and drank some delicious Hungarian wine. It was a really nice day.
