Landing on the Streets of Philadelphia

Unexpected street art had me smiling all over. It may not have felt like Fall weather at a balmy eighty-some degrees, but Philadelphia more than compensated me for my sweat equity!

In a twist of events, the building soars the skies and the airplane is grounded on the street.

A smooshed landing at best, this plane graced the square on the backside of the art school.

Budapest Held Captive

Rich wasn't feeling too well so it was up to me to create the itinerary for our day in Budapest. First on the list was the Parliament building. Our waiter from the night before recommended it and as we approached I was quite awed by the size and grandness of the building. WOW! Only, there was all this construction. No matter. Follow the tour groups and we are bound to find the entrance. Or not. Shut down and inaccessible. *sigh* So visible. So out of reach. We did get a good view from across the Danube River.

And as we walked toward the bus stop to head over and up to the castle complex we discovered that the Parliament building was not the only beautiful thing being held captive in Budapest.
