Unexpectedly, I got to spend my 30th birthday riding from Austria into Italy. Wow! The only things missing were family and friends.....but that's for later celebrations in life:-) One of the most amazing parts of this trip for me has been seeing the change in rivers as we follow them for long distances. We started following the Drau when it was a raging river, wide, and murky brown colored water. By the time we entered Italy, it was maybe 10-15 feet wide, and colors changed to greenish blue from the glacial silt. At times we could see the trout darting out from behind a rock for a quick snack. The smaller the river got, the closer I knew we were to our destination.
