Magnificent Europe Avalon River Cruise - 2018

October 1 to 22, 2018 Marie and Clayton traveled to Europe to enjoy a river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. We traveled on the "Passion" with Avalon Waterways. Clayton took 3321 photos, and reduced it down to these 87 images to tell the story of our journey. Enjoy the trip!
