This morning we went to a bakery for breakfast. Then we went to a synagogue. (Edtor’s note: the Dohany Street synagogue is one of largest in the world.) As you know, our family is Jewish so this was an important place for us to visit. It was a really big and beautiful synagogue. My favorite part was a weeping willow tree made out of metal in the shape of an upside down menorah. There are leaves all over the tree with names of all the Jews from Budapest who were killed in WW II.
Then we went to the market. When you enter, it felt like heaven to me. “That’s the best salami over there”. “Oh, there are sausages”! “Ham, steak , lamb chops, chicken feet, liver, gizzards,pasta, fish”. We bought dried fruit, nuts, and some salami. Then we had some lunch. I had a pasta dish with salmon and olives. Then we went to visit the Budapest Opera house. Here are some facts that I remember: It is ranked second in the world for its acoustics, it had many different levels of seating, it had 1300 seats, the seats were hard because it is better for acoustics, and it is very pretty.
Then we grabbed our bags and took the metro to the train station. It took us a while to find the right track. Now we are taking a train to Vienna. We will arrive at 19:56 (that’s about 8:00 PM). We will see my cousin Will and my Uncle Bob and Aunt Lynne!
