Budapest: Day 2

We went up to the Terror Museum here in Budapest yesterday, which exhibits the atrocities committed by the Hungarian government while under Nazi and Communist control. It was a little disturbing. We locked Alex in the tiny, shoulder width solitary confiment cube in the basement for ten minutes for a few moments of humor. By far the most disturbing thing was the wall listing pictures and names of every officer responsible for what happened over that time. It's the ultimate punishment, but I can't imagine anyone whose life's work was that...

We spent the rest of the day at the Thermal Baths across the Danube in Buda (Budapest is devided into Buda on one side and Pest on the other side of the river). Housed in some beautfiul architecture are several swimming pools and these heated pools for each sex. The outdoor pool had a wave machine for body surfing too. All in all it was very relaxing, but I saw way too much cock. Why are fat, old men the first to disrobe all the time? The place did offer these loine cloth type things, which looked like a g string from behind. So it didn't really help much.Luckily, we met a few girls at the hostel bar last night to balance out the day.
