After arriving to Budapest at two in the morning, most of us had a hard time waking up the next morning. But we did it! We got on the bus and headed for the city. We first saw Hero’s Square. It is a monument dedicated to heros of Hungary. It was so beautiful! After seeing Pest we crossed the river to Buda and stopped at a castle. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen! There was a church built in the fourteenth century and architecture that is indescribable! I will never forget it! We then made another stop at Hungary’s Statue of Liberty, it was different from the U.S statue of liberty, but just as beautiful. After seeing a lot of Buda we all got to go and see the streets for ourselves. It is such a wonderful city!
About three hours after a journey stuck on the bus we arrived in our other sister city of Nagykanizsa! We pulled up to the school and our hosts were excitedly waiting for us. We went home with them and had a wonderful dinner of Hungarian food. Not once did I go hungry in Hungary! :)
We had the most fantastic three days in Nagykanizsa which included a tour of the beautiful city, seeing lake Balaton, touring two incredible castle’s, going to school with other students, learning more of the Hungarian culture, sharing our culture, sharing music, and a party of course! The people are so friendly and welcoming, it was hard to say goodbye. Most of us just got to know our Hungarian friends better and yet we still had to go. So back on the bus we go. Here we come for a last time Budapest!
