Budapest: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
The hubby and I decided to add Budapest, Hungary to one of the legs of our recent European Vacation, so, in our usual style, we purchased the train tickets while already in Europe, and headed off on another adventure. I hate to admit that I did not know much about the...
