Gellért Hill, Budapest

Top of the world, Ma! I shot a number of photos from this spot. A mob of Russians swarmed around me. Their sheer numbers compelled me to leave. The bastard Russians occupied Hungary for 45 years, and they still can’t get their stinkin’ paws off her.

This is the Hungarian Statue of Liberty. It can be seen for miles and is especially cool when lit up at night. It kicks the the American Statue of Liberty’s ass!

Statue of mother breastfeeding her child. You’re not going to see a public statue like this in the U.S., because  we’re too fucking uptight.

The rock church at the bottom of the hill. Inside was so peaceful and so beautiful, though not ornate. It was one of the most moving experiences I’ve ever had. Cost:500 HUF. Bargain of the century!

Going home on the good ol’ 18 tram. The liberty bridge in the background is lit up green.
