Two Dames Do the Danube: A Story of Anachronistic Elegance Despite Some Hard History - Couverture souple
À propos de l?auteur
After graduating as a Performing Arts major at the University of Hawaii, Susan opted out of pursuing a vocal/dance career in either New York or Los Angeles, choosing Fairbanks, Alaska instead and a novel adventure by experiencing a real winter for once.Fifteen winters later, she had met and married a war-weary soldier who wanted to build a log cabin in the woods, worked with him on construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, and homesteaded forty acres of raw land on an isolated mountain top. It took a decade, but they finally got a flushing toilet and two great kids out of their efforts and left Alaska with rich memories and a modest grubstake. Today, Susan and her husband of fifty years live in Missouri, where they enjoy their rocking chairs on the front porch. With one item left on her bucket list; this story begins.

Two Dames Do the Danube (Paperback)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Two good friends reconnect and decide to take a river cruise together. They are headed down the Danube, to Budapest. Middle Eastern Europe is a part of the world which was sequestered behind the infamous "Iron Curtain" for most of their lives. So, these rapidly maturing ladies boldly go to see, while the going is good.The dames are not disappointed. The architecture is all that people said it would be, and more, with gorgeous detailing from a time when exquisite ornamentation and craftsmanship was the rule, rather than the exception. In awe. Susan took hundreds of photographs, which became the corner stone for this work.The people were so warm and filled with mirth. It was hard to fathom their recovery and ebullient grace after fifty years of such oppression.The excursion was well worth all the exasperation inherent in any international travel, especially in this world filled with 21st Century gadgets. The insights gained can be priceless. How lucky to be able to ride a Viking Longboat into a new world, to be treated like queens, and to return home to good old Missouri, with a new appreciation of what it means to be free. The Danube River runs through Middle-Eastern Europe sharing its lavish architecture, bountiful vineyards, and loving people with all who come. Having outlasted many hardships, they remain shining testaments of strength and goodness. This item is printed on demand.
