I had the opportunity to sail on a river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam on the Danube through the Main-Danube Canal and onto the Rhine.

Bird Watching and Vacation
The two are not mutually exclusive. Being off from both school and work for 14 days was magical. Talk about a lovely way to mentally and physically reset for the new year!
