marzipan - who knew it was good for something? in szentendre, just outside of budapest, there is a marcipan muzeum and gabi's family took me there to experience it. i couldn't have ever imagined...
(this is Zrinyi Ilona - the lady after whom my school is named)
the crown jewels
creepiest thing ever
(the parliament is such a landmark and i think it's pretty well liked)
this one was really impressive in person, click on the pic to enlarge it
of course there is a gift shop where you can buy a bazillion kinds of marcipan: sugar candy, chocolates, chocolates with alcohol, figurines, caramels, suckers, and gummy candies... all mixed with/infested with marcipan.

they look cute but they kind of taste like playdough
in case you didn't realize, every single thing in the museum was 100% marcipan, made by sweet little hungarian ladies. they work in a glass room in the front of the museum and you can watch them if you like. there are small signs in front of every scene/figure/statue that says who made it, when, whether it was for a competition or not, and how many hours it took (many took over 100 hours). do you agree with me that hungarians are the most patient people ever??
