Amateur Traveler, episode 517.

Today the Amateur Traveler talks about Cormorants and Pelicans, fish soup,

UNSCO World Heritage Sites, the Lippovans, and Sturgen as we go to the Danube Delta in Romania.

Welcome to the day.

Welcome to the amateur traveler.

I'm your host Chris Christensen.

Before we get into the episode on the Danny Ob Delta,

I did want to say there's going to be some sound in here,

including some interviews that were recorded by our guest,

so I hope you'll enjoy that, as well as some background sounds that will give you some of the

sounds of the Danube Delta, with no further do the Danube Delta.

I'd like to welcome back to the show Christian Cummins,

who is coming to us from Austria's National Radio,

although he is not Austrian, you may gather from the accent.

And come to talk to us about an area of Europe you probably haven't thought about going.
