Budapest is really beautiful, especially at night.
Dating from the early middle ages, it's got a plethora of history and culture. I've learned quite a bit on my tours. One thing that surprised me was that due to so many destructive wars over the centuries, there are very few buildings that have survived. Unlike other European capitals such as Paris, London, Madrid, etc., whose architecture dates back several hundred to over a thousand years, the architecture here in Budapest is no more than a few hundred years old.

I checked off three UNESCO World Heritage sites from my UNESCO bucket list while in Malta. Only 1000 or so more to go!

"The Megalithic Temples of Malta are several prehistoric temples, some of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, built during three distinct periods approximately between 3600 BC and 2500 BC on the island country of Malta."

"The Algarve stands out as one of the regions with the most zero pollution beaches (14), four of them located in Tavira, three in Faro and another three in Vila do Bispo."

Portugal has 53 “Zero Pollution” beaches. The number of beaches receiving the distinction dropped from 68 last year

One of my favorite Portuguese comfort foods: FRANCESINHA
Mine was with tuna, cheese, egg, tomatoes, and light gravy sandwich. Also made with beef, pork, and other meats and fish.
Sooooo good.

"Francesinha is a Portuguese sandwich originally from Porto, made with bread, wet-cured ham, linguiça, fresh sausage like chipolata, steak or roast meat, and covered with melted cheese and a hot and thick spiced tomato and beer sauce. It is typically served with french fries."
