As the day winds down in Jordan, the US is still 4 hours away from the Super Bowl. The game was finally mentioned on TV tonight and other than me, no one tuned into the topic. By the time I wake up in the morning, the game will have been over and gone with barely a notice overseas. It always is a disconnect how far removed I am from normal social activities that take place at home when I travel. There is a whole different life here where the day is paced different and work has a far bigger impact on people's lives than at home. There are also less distractions from work and politics and a nine hour work day easily rolls into an eleven hour work day.
Cruising the Danube
Life on the river often means spots where I can't get a good wifi connection so I'm a bit behind on blogging. I'm going to do this one fast and then get more detailed on the last two stops. I'm sailing with AMA Waterways and the ship is the AmaVerde as seen from the dock in Vidin. Usually I share a bigger cabin with a friend but for this trip we decided to splurge and get our own cabin. Here's my little home for the week. Most of Thursday was on the ship as we sailed from Bulgaria to Serbia. This lock is the second gate of the Iron Gates. Looking over at the dam on the river. View from my cabin. The water is just below the window. There are only three decks on this ship and I'm on Level 3.
