Today was St. Stephen's Day, a national holiday in Hungary. Almost all of the stores are closed so Kaylee and I just walked around for most of the day. We saw some really amazing buildings. There were a lot of food stands around so we tried something that looked really good. It is called a Kürtöskalács, which literally means chimney cake. It's a sweet pastry that is rolled onto a log, rolled in sugar, then roasted over hot coals. You can have it rolled in something else when you order it, like cinnamon or cocoa. I got mine plain and Kaylee got hers with cinnamon. (Gluten free, shmuten free! She decided a little tummy ache was worth it while we were standing in line to get one)
So delicious!
This is how they made them:

Aw. Yay! It seems like you're having a pretty good time so far. I would want to go but am to afraid probably.
