The Viking River Cruise ships (I will delete any comments about raiding monasteries) are like miniature ocean cruise ships. They only carry 190 passengers, but the amenities are much the same. They serve gourmet breakfast, lunch, and dinner, though I stopped drinking wine and eating dessert for lunch after about the fourth day.
One morning at breakfast, we were joined by a lovely couple from Arizona, Karen and Dan. We exchanged life stories and I mentioned that I was an author.
At Dinner, Karen informed me that she had purchased the Kindle version of my book, Memory and Metaphor and was really enjoying it.
Best vacation ever!!
I can deduct the cost of the trip from my taxes now, right?
