Below: During our stay in Vienna, I took a one day
side trip to Budapest, Hungary. Below is a picture of the bridge across the Danube River that connects the two former
cities of Buda and Pest. This bridge was an engineering marvel at the time of its completion in 1849, the wide span
was needed because of all the ice floating down river duing the spring thaw.

very enjoyable.
