Eileen travels a lot for business. This year she had business in Minneapolis, where her cousin, Mona Dewayne, and her husband, Patrick, live. Minneapolis is one of those places that has two seasons: Winter and August. It's absolutely beautiful and pleasant there in August, and we took it ALLLL in. We immensely enjoyed our visit with Mona and Patrick and hoped to visit them again in the near future.

Bruce and Eileen celebrated 35 years together by going on a Danube River cruise. The trip began with a 2-night stay in Budapest, Hungary, where the cruise began. Cities visited along the river were:

• Budapest, Hungary
• Bratislava, Slovakia
• Vienna, Austria
• Durnstein, Austria
• Melk, Austria
• Passau, Germany
• Vilshofen, Germany (unscheduled)
• Regensburg, Germany
• Nuremberg, Germany

Unfortunately, due to an unusually dry summer the river water level was extremely low. So we had to take a bus to Regensburg and to our final destination, Nuremberg. But as a bonus we got to also stop in Vilshofen, Germany.

Bruce and Eileen traveled by train to NYC for a Goldstein/Lieberman family reunion.
