Next up we walked into a food truck area. Chimney cakes are something Hungary is known for which is basically a cinnamon type cake cooked over hot coals. I’m going to have to try one of these at some point.

Another local option
Goulash

We continued walking toward the Orthodox Synagogue which is the stricter sect. Here men and women have separate entrances.

Bar Pharma feels right
Juda Pest. Kinda funny
Another marker for the ghetto wall
Saint Stephen’s Cathedral contains the mummified right hand of the first King. Once a year on August 20th the hand is taken around the Church in a procession. After that people walk to the river for fireworks. He founded the country one thousand years ago and established Christianity here. The Pope gifted him a crown that established Hungary as a free Christian nation. Whomever has the crown holds the power.

Over the years the crown has been stolen or hidden. During WW2 the crown was smuggled to the US for safe keeping and was stored for years at Fort Knox. Jimmy Carter brought it back in 1978 and it’s now kept in the Parliament Building.
