I've added a link to Aljazeera's website. While this may not convince anyone of my safety overseas, it does provide an insight into what is going on in the world from an Arab perspective. Aljazeera is not the network of Al Queda, but more close to an Arab CNN or BBC. As my upcoming trip involves Lebanon and Kuwait, I am watching the Amir situation since that impacts government offices and business, and all things Lebanon since you never know when the borders may close.
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.
Wow, my first visit to the Aljazeera web site and no videos of Americans being beheaded!
