Ducky was greeted by friendly faces at the Pittsburgh International Airport. Our friend, Cheryl Capezzuti has dryer lint sculptures on display. Cheryl's puppets are part of our Alternative Lending Collection. We also saw the Eat'n Park Smiley Cookie!

You know you're home when you come through the Fort Pitt tunnel and the Fort Pitt bridge!

Thanks for following along on our adventure!

Ducky and Ms. Mandee made friends with a lovely tour guide in Budapest named Mónika who showed us some beautiful things in her hometown. She wants to visit the library someday! Here we are in the Pest side of Budapest.

But Ducky is on the way home to Braddock now! Here we are in front of our huge 747 in Frankfurt, Germany, then boarding the last flight home in NY/Newark, NJ.

Ducky loved being back on the water. We cruised the beautiful blue Danube by night! This is the Hungarian Parliament building in Budapest.

This is Uncle Charlie, a favorite of locals in Budapest. Rubbing his belly and nose brings good luck, so Ducky had to snoot/beak-boop him! Hopefully we can bring some great luck back to Braddock!

Ducky ate a yummy lunch of traditional Hungarian gulasch soup! And this was our view!

No adventure is complete without a visit to the library! Ducky saw the Hungarian National Library in Budapest!

Ducky had one more piece of cake (as one does in Vienna) before getting back on the train with new Austrian friends, Franz Ferdinand and Wolfgang. We're all heading to Budapest, the capital of Hungary! 🇭🇺
