How did I even get here?

Hello everybody! Sorry it has been so long since I have posted.
I am currently in Austria, specifically on the Wachau on a cruise ship.
It is gorgeous out here.
I am probably going to jump off the boat and swim to one of the lush mountain ranges and just rough it for the rest of my life.
I'm serious. Except for the fact that I miss everyone at home soooo much!
Here is my week as of today:
We made it to Budapest on Tuesday and checked into the hotel and all that wonderful shib.
We toured through Buda and Pest, and I fell in love with the Hungarian architecture and lifestyle.
I absolutely died when we went to the castle district in Buda (and not because of the heat).
The Danube really is like the cherry on top of the city.
We visited Szentendre as well which is a cute little art village closer to the country.
On Wednesday we learned a lot about the Jewish heritage of Budapest and visited a gorgeous synagogue.
The building was gorgeous and the history was very rich. I adored it.
Thursday we got on the boat and sailed to Vienna, which is another lovely city.
We toured Vienna on Friday.
I loved all of the beautiful churches and how the old and new buildings were so wonderfully close to each other.
It was beautiful how the Viennese people can live and breathe history while sitting outside of Starbucks.
The St. Stevens church was one of the most wonderful things I have seen so far.
I would absolutely love to worship there.
We saw the Schonbrunn Palace which is where all of the aristocrats and royalty lived back in the day.
The building was huge, gold plated and lovely.
The gardens were the best part, with the hedge maze and dozens of statues of Greek gods.
I also like the gardens because, as large and richly decorated as they were, they were the least boastful part of the place.
Today we sailed to Durnstein which is also in Austria.
It is a very small town and is set in the middle of a little mountain range.
 It was so green and beautiful and it was my favorite part of the trip so far.
Honestly the entire Wachau made me fall head over heels for Austria.
If I never marry, I'll be happy if I can just settle down in a cottage down here in the rolling hills of the Wachua.
If I had the opportunity, I would move there in a second.
We left Durnstein around 10:45 this morning and arrived in Melk around 2:15. We toured the monastery here, which is very big.
Everything here is big, beautiful and old.

More to come soon, I have one more week up here and I cant wait to tell you more and post pictures when I can! I'll see you all sooooon.
