David on The Danube

After work Wednesday the group had a 90 minute walking tour of the city in small groups. Then they had dinner on a moored boat (like the one down at the Corning Preserve - but this was MUCH nicer - BUT GASP - on the Danube!). Then they all walked back to the hotel - another 30 minute walk. (edit - if only we all had this ethic of WALKING - here it would have been a BUS tour of the city - and cabs home) This picture is the view out the window of the boat from David's seat during dinner. It is looking accross the river towards the castle that the castle district is named after. It now contains several museums.

A-hem - the REAL picture

See following (actually previous) post for the FUNNY HAHA. This is where David & Co. had an impromptu lunch at an outdoor cafe. This is looking over toward Budapest. The large building just past the beautiful bridge is St. Peters Basiclica. Just gorgeous!

David in BUDAPEST

David went to Hungary Sunday for Momentive's Annual Productivy Summit. Here are some random shots he took on NO sleep for 33 hours - Monday afternoon in and around Budapest.
This is SUPPOSED to be a shot of the river. I think NOT - let's call it FATIGUE still!
St. Stephen's Basicilica -

The OCTAGON - an area near his hotel.

The courtyard inside his hotel. He's on the 4th floor - and it's magnificent inside and out.

A Co-workier outside the Museum of Natural HIstory. NATCH - it was closed on Monday when they had time to cruise around. He's stayign thru the weekend so will have 2-3 days to sight see at the end of the week after the WORK is done. Um - have heard a lot about food and wine - so not sure what the true agenda is here!!!
