Budapest was awesome and fun and mysterious and beautiful! Our hostel had crazy clown paint all over the walls (it actually sucked otherwise, but eh...)!
We walked around a lot and saw the sights (castle, bridges, parliament, market....). Lisa pretty much acted as mom and guide the whole time (thanks mommy Lisa) and we followed her all over... We went to an underground labyrinth beneath the castle and we were all really scared! It was all creepy and dark and they had weird music playing... drums and heart beats... There was a lot of getting startled and screaming amongst us... At one point, we reached an area called "the tunnel of courage," which is basically a really dark hallway where you need to use a rope to find your way out... After discussing it for about 10 minutes, we decided that we were brave enough to go in... So, of course, Lisa led the way in and Michelle and I followed... about 4 steps in, Lisa said, "you know, we could still turn back if you want..." and that's what we did... The next morning, I woke up and realized that, while the underground tunnels were probably real, everything else in the labyrinth was probably fake!!!!!
One of my favorite sites was an art nouveau building Lisa wanted us to stop and look at on the way to another site...The roof was supposed to be the really exciting part, but it was really hard to see and we couldn't get far enough away to get a full view ... So, when we finally spotted the green tiling and statues of chickens, I wrote this song and haven't stopped singing it since:
"What did you do in Hungar-ay?
I saw the chickens on the way..."

Sharmi, the labyrinth doesn't sound half as scary when you describe it! It was terrifying! We were brave enough to go through it anyway, forget that tunnel of courage!
