We spent the morning at the Hungarian Parliament. It was a huge building, in fact our guide told us that the only Parliament buildings that are larger are the one in Argentina and the one in London. It was a beautifully ornate building. They have the crown jewels of Hungary on display and the guards came and stood right next to the case while we were there. Guess we are not trustworthy! We were also told not to stand within 4 meters of the guards. A couple of players got shooed away because they got to close while getting a photo with the men in uniform. Maybe the metric system is a bit foggy and they do not remember how far 4 meters is.
Then we were off to the rink for hockey! Our first game was scheduled against an under 12 team so we had to get them replace them with an older team. These guys beat us by a lot. I do not have the game stats, so I will leave that up to the boys.
The older team faired much better and we tied 3 to 3! During the first period, we scored 1st! So the parents took photos of the score board while we were ahead. Surprisingly, we then score 2 more unanswered goals in the first period for the lead of 3 to 0. The next 2 periods proved to be a bit more challenging and we never scored again, but they gained on us and scored 1 in the 2nd and 2 more in the 3rd. It was exciting!
After the game, the team and some parents had a banquet. They met the U 12 players that thought they were playing the "Americans" and had been invited to the banquet at a nearby restaurant. Turns out they were quite a bit younger than our kids, but had fun talking to them.
