Goodnight Budapest

Our final dinner in Budapest was at Pozsony Restaurant, a recommendation by a colleague who lives in Budapest. Jesse was right. I know why it's his favorite restaurant now. I ordered some sort of pork with peppers (its officially my favorite Hungarian entree now!) and potatoes with parsley. The food was perfect and the wine was great. It really is a small little restaurant right in the middle of a little residential area. We were the only non-locals there, until two guys from Austria showed up. They tried speaking German to the waiter, and it was the first time I've ever heard someone overseas say "Can you speak english please? I don't understand." It was a little odd hearing that, but I guess it makes sense.

After dinner we tried to find that beer garden that Jesse recommended, but it was completely MIA. So, we decided that our favorite Irish pub was on the way home, so we jumped off the metro at Deak Square instead of calling in a night. Longford's was a bit dead, but our favorite waiters were there, so Mom and I grabbed some drinks and enjoyed our last night there. When we left, we gave the waiter a hug and he said "see you tomorrow." awww...how sad that we were leaving. We'll have to see him next time I'm in Budapest. Which, hopefully will be soon.

I miss that city already!!!
