The Shoes on the Danube are a memorial to the people who were shot into the Danube as part of the Holocaust. I don't really have anything to add to the statement they make.
There are a LOT of equestrian statues in Budapest, and I can't read the plaques so I have no idea who they are. They look pretty though!
This is one view of the Parliament building, which I briefly mistook for the basilica that I was trying to find.
Another statue that I couldn't read the plaque for. There are so many statues and hopefully by the end of the semester I will know what more of them mean.
This is a neat statue on Margaret Island! It was built in the 70s to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the union of Buda and Pest (and Óbuda) into Budapest. This photo didn't capture how cool the texture of the sculpture was, but trust me, it's pretty neat.
Today I learned that trains in Hungary go Csi-hu-hu!
This was a huge fountain in the middle of Margaret Island that did water shows choreographed to music! When I walked by it was playing "Cecilia" by Simon and Garfunkel (they play a lot of English language music in Budapest) and it was a lot of fun. I tried to record it but the only thing I can upload to my blog is this one exceedingly bad photo. Ah well.
One of the many pretty gardens on Margaret Island
A beautiful pond in the middle of Margaret Island
A cool little tower on Margaret Island! So many pretty things on Margaret Island.
A picture of about half of Market Hall from the inside. It's enormous and so beautiful!
There were lots of cool, interesting things being sold but for some reason the only wares I took a photo of were these.
A view of Market Hall from the outside, on Fővám tér.
