I recently took a break from Jordan to visit my family on a Danube River cruise through six Eastern and Central European countries. Below I describe the number one highlight from each day of our vacation.
Day 1: Seeing my mom for the first time since October 2011 and giving her a hug for her birthday in Romania.
Day 2: Teaching my cousin Lilly the word for "insignificant" in Arabic on the bus while looking out the window at seas of sunflowers in Bulgaria.
Day 3: Climbing to the top of Belogradchik, Bulgaria Rock Formations.
Day 4: Games, games, games! Playing Shuffleboard and Bridge and Phase10 and Banagrams on the boat with my mom, dad, sister, almost brother-in-law, aunt, uncle, and cousin.
Day 5: Watching my mom be the subject of the Tesla human electricity conduction experiment in Serbia.
Day 6: Biking through a flooded park with my cousin Lilly in Croatia.
Day 7: Meeting a pig with the hair of a poodle in Hungary.
Day 8: Relaxing in the 11 medicinal hot springs baths in Budapest, Hungary.
Day 9: Walking across the Chain Bridge, which separates Buda from Pest, at night.
Day 10: Sharing a Spanish paella with Keith and Lucas in Austria.
Day 11: Getting lost for hours at the Helnwein Retrospective exhibit at the Albertina Museum in Vienna, Austria.
Day 12: Taking over the Mezzanine of the Hilton to play Bridge and Phase10 and make our own beverages.
