Life and pictures
I find it hard to believe I've been here over a month now. In some ways it seems like I just got here, and in other ways it feels like I've been here much longer. I feel somewhat guilty for not doing more touristy things, but it's so lovely just to live here. The castle district is so beautiful. I've also been fairly busy with classes and such. (I'm taking topics in geometry, combinatorics of hypergraphs, number theory and abstract algebra). I have done some walking around and picture taking, and the snow's made things quite beautiful, so here, pictures (They're not in chronological order).
St Steven's Basilica:The following are from walking along the Danube on the Pest side with Nora and Bryan. The clouds were beautiful, so we took a bunch of pictures of Buda. The thing with the dome is the castle, the bridge is the chain bridge.
Fishermen's Bastion, Mathias Church covered in scaffolding, and the hilton hotel. I live just under the leftmost edge of the bastion.
St Anna's church and Batthany Ter (where the metro stop I use is. It's directly across the river from parliament which makes for a great view.)
Chain bridge and the castle:
Matthias Church, and Fishermen's Bastion in the rainSt Gellert. The statue is part of the way up to the citadel where Nora, Bryan and I had a picnic. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of much beyond this point from our climb on the hill because my camera batteries stopped working.
Nora and Bryan and lots of stairs:
