On our trip, we had the privilege of meeting Marjory from Canada. She was traveling alone and we hooked up with her at the airport in Munich as we all awaited our flight to Budapest. Marjory is a retired emergency room nurse. Her husband was a park ranger and the two of them traveled extensively while he was alive. He died 11 years ago and Marjory is still traveling alone at the age of 91. I asked her if her kids minded her traveling alone at her age and she said they did, but it was really not any of their business. We adopted Marjory as the 16th member of our 15 member group for the time that we were on the river cruise. On our first night in Budapest, Bob and Ellen and Chuck and I decided to go wandering through the city in a heavy drizzle. Marjory came with us and kept up with us as we slogged along the city streets. When the rain got heavier, Bob put his hat on her head so that she would not get wet. We got back to the hotel in time to go to supper, and Marjory was as fresh as the rest of us, even after a full day of flying . At 91 she still has a thirst for knowledge and a joy of traveling that keeps her young and healthy. She never asked any of us for help and managed her own affairs quite efficiently. My goal in life is to be as independent and curious as Marjorie. God bless you on your journeys,Marjory. You are an inspiration to all of us.Read more
