Ruin bars and Roman ruins

I arrived in Budapest on Saturday and met Lucas at the hotel. Martin arrived a few hours later on Sunday. Everyone got in. We went over our plans for Hellowood, and since then have been exploring the city.

Budapest was founded as a Roman military camp and city but the name of Aquinum. The archaeological ruins can be found all over the city. What is also found today are dozens of Ruin Pubs, or bars established in vacant lots and vacant buildings.

Over the last two days we have seen a lot of both. The Aquinum Museum was built a couple years ago to house the millions of artifacts that have been found. They have a very cool visible storage area with about 100 artifacts on glass shelves. We also toured the archaeology site that has been preserved.

We have also done a pub crawl, sketching and evaluating at least seven ruin pubs. Both aspects of Budapest are intertwined into fabric.
