While traversing to and from Eastern Europe, we stopped in two amazing Hungarian cities. Visting the Royal Palace, St. Stephen's Church and the Danube were delightful experiences. An even greater attraction to Budapest was the monumental effort to make the city tourist friendly. Before our exit from the train to Budapest, we had a tourism official come to our seat and offer free maps and advice. Furthermore, the city was blanketed with smiling people offering you help finding a hostel. Even more, the food, books and other needed items were far cheaper in the easterly sections of the old Hapsburg Empire.
Later in rural Hungary, we attempted to inject vast quantities of manliness into the trip by hiking a mountian outside of Voz. The picture above is not a cling for life from the mountianside, but simply a human imperession of a monkey. After reaching the top, I surveyed a massive section of the Danube. The picturesque scene reminded me of how God must see the big picture, while people can walk through a dense valley with limited visability. Nature's reminder of God's soverieghn power brought great peace as I spent time praying to a living God.
