You'll never guess what happened to us our first night in Budapest. We decided to hike Gellért Hill, which is right along the Danube and overlooks the city (it is also where Elder Nelson dedicated Hungary for the preaching of the gospel). It was a nice hike, but pretty dark by the time we got to the top. I was able to take a few pictures at the top, but it was difficult to get one that wasn't blurry as it was dark and getting kind of chilly.
Then it started to rain. We tried to find cover under some of the trees by the path we hiked up, but it was raining too hard. We got soaked. I guess that's just the romantic thing to do once your first night in a historic city in Europe - hike a hill that overlooks the city (check) then get soaked in the rain (check).

Lucky for me, the pictures are too small to tell how blurry they are.
