While waiting for our tour time to the Parliament building we headed over to Liberty Square for a photo op with a great man. He is respected here for his role as a Cold Warrior. Thanks President Reagan.
The Parliament building is enormous. Which is appropriate considering that for a time Budapest ruled much of Eastern Europe, but now the legislature occupies only 1/8th of the building.
In a word it is opulent. The interior is decorated with 84 pounds of gold.
The Legislature gets to meet in this beautiful room. This is the House of Commons.
Not my style, but it is very beautiful and grandiose and fun to imagine people from long ago gracing these halls.
