It turns out that May 1st is Labor Day for almost every country in the world except the US. To us, it's simply May Day where we might have some spring festivities but otherwise - nothing. Restaurants were closed in Mexico, businesses were closed overseas, it was acutally an easy work day since the rest of the world was off. Today everything is back to normal and I'm happy to be working in LA. No corrupt police who are going to peg you as a tourista here!
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.
