I had three goals for my trip to Budapest-
1)buy a fur hat
2)find some interesting pottery
3)relax at the Turkish Baths and hot springs
the only one I really accomplished was #3 (we visited 3 different spas in fact)...but in my defense the only fur hats I came across were at the abandoned flea market for sale as antiques from the communist days, and the pottery we had heard about was no where to be found-- even though the Secret Box Man gave me detailed directions by repeating over and over that the shop was "on the corner"...
all in all the trip was a great adventure and a few highlights include: the fat Hungarian kid who incessantly kicked my airplane seat(the National Hungarian Fencing Team was also on our flight), the cute taxi driver who spoke very sparse English, the purple cape man, Burger King & T.G.I. Fridays (2 things we do NOT have in France), the communist bus ride, swimming outside while it was snowing, the lazy river, being yelled at by large Hungarian women, the 125 year old "traditional spa", the bidet lady, the escalator stopping, yummy goulash, lots and lots of snow...

Love the pics! Thanks for sharing them. Looks like you had a great time; and sounds like the baths lived up to the billing. Sorry about the hats and pottery (or lack there of)!
what exactly does a bidet lady do?
(dictionary.com)
Entry: bi·det
Pronunciation: bi-'dA
Function: noun
: a bathroom fixture about the height of the seat of a chair used especially for bathing the external genitals and the posterior parts of the body.
this particular lady was using an industrial strength bidet, in and open area of the spa, for quite a while...it was awkward
i bet that WAS awkward...
...THIS is awkward too...
