• I ATE: Amsterdam, Lucerne and a Rhine River Cruise

  Number of comments: 1
  As most readers know, I love to travel and I’ve had the good fortune to do so fairly extensively; however, northern Europe was never high on my travel bucket list. I seem to have preferred repeat visits to Mediterranean countries or warm weather climes … countries where the language was [...]
