Wild Goose Island is in the middle of St. Mary Lake. A long, long time ago, two native tribes resided on opposite sides of St. Mary's. Even though they seldom fought, they had no interaction.
One day, a strikingly handsome warrior from one tribe noticed a beautiful woman on the other swimming toward the island. He couldn't resist her beauty immediately swam to meet her on the island. The two met, clicked instantly, spoke for hours, and became engaged. They promised to meet again tomorrow morning on the island and each swam home.
Upon reaching their tribal shores, they realized they had created a massive problem. Each tribe's elders demanded that the engagement be broken off.
Well, the two lovers didn't agree and met each other the next morning on the island. After a quick discussion, they decided to run away and find their own land to marry and live.
When the tribal elders found out, they sent war parties to retreive their members and were determined to bring them home, no matter wha the cost.
Thankfully, the Great Spirit had kept its eyes on the two lovers. Taking pity on them, he transformed them into geese so they could fly away and be together forever.
When the tribal warriors arrived on the island, all they found were two geese, tenderly rubbing necks. They flew away and never returned.
From then on, the small island in the center of St. Mary's Lake in Glacier National Park was known as Wild Goose Island.

Rich historical destinations ideal for history buffs includes the Black Sea connected to the Mediterranean by the Bosporus and the Dardanelles Strait which links it with the Aegean. Planning your Cruise Holidays can be a hassle-free experience as there are many available options. Good recommendations where enjoying both the fabulous blonde beaches and the amazing baroque buildings is feasible. Select from the best five Baltic cruise ports such as St Petersburg, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Tallinn and Helsinki.
The Mediterranean in the East and the Canary Islands are renowned as a great cruise destinations. Relishing in the turquoise waters, golden sands and azure skies of the Caribbean has never before been so convenient.
The most memorable romantic getaway need not just be a city tour. Even traveling solo, or with family, the cruise offers all inclusive travel packages from onboard dining to ship facilities and short excursions.
Honeymooners or those celebrating wedding anniversaries onboard cruises to Canary Islands may opt for cruise lines from Fred Olsen and Royal Caribbean. Then choosing the way to cruise in luxury, up-market or on mainstream cruises. Family cruising on Princess Cruises will be exceptional due to the educational aspect such as science experiments and family-friendly accommodations (for example: alcoves for six.)
With Mediterranean Cruises, you can arrange to be cruising on Viking Europe which features comfortable outside staterooms, sun deck with 360-degree views and observation lounge and bar with panoramic windows. For River Nile Egypt allows you to capture all the main sites of Egypt from Cairo, Giza for the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Explorations of the small Egyptian towns and antiquities along the river bank is feasible too.

I have been several times to Germany. Berlin, Frankfurt, München, Gießen, Darmstadt, Frankfurt an der Oder, Düsseldorf, Mönchengladbach, Ulm, Zwiefalten, Leipzig, Dresden the former Karl Marx Stadt in Easter Germany, and Köln. I have travelled there by airplane, by train, by car and I have crossed the country by hitchhiking to Holland too.

My impressions are very different. In Eastern Germany, I found a gray and cold atmosphere which was sort of scary to me even if I had my own experience about the socialism in Hungary. On the other hand, when 10 years after I participated in a student exchange program in Darmstadt, I found there the coolest guys ever with a wonderful warm atmosphere.
When I was hitchhiking to Amsterdam in 1993, German drivers were pretty strict, they didn't want to take us unless we had insurance. We spent a night in Mönchengladbach where other friends were living as students at an old couple's house. Right after our arrival, the landlord who is a proud German gentleman, asked if we were Christians and if we were married. That's because and otherwise, I can't sleep together with my girlfriend. The gentleman took us to the mall (that was the very first mall I have ever seen) and passing by a car exhibition room, he proudly emphasized each words of Bayerishe Motor Werks.
Germany is always a tidy, disciplined, smart and an effective country in my mind. When I was a student and spent some time with my German mates, I realized how different the new generation is from those proud, strict, conservative gentlemen. When I visited it for work, I experienced very opened and constructive atmosphere. Definitely less bullshitting there, when it comes to compare about working in Hungary.
I love that their highways are free of charge and especially that there is no speed limit. I think it is connected with their disciplined nature. If it was necessary (rain, sharp curves, bridges etc.) they slowed down as it was requested.
For work I would definitely choose Germany with a pleasure. When it comes to work, I prefer effectiveness and you can find it in Germany. For living, I am afraid I am still too young for that country. I can't stand disciplined neighbourhoods where everyone has a remark on your garden or lifestyle. Maybe living in a culturally vibrant city like Berlin it would be different but I hardly can imagine my life in Bayern in a village. by the way Berlin is very amazing. I love the culture there, so much life and the same cool people as I experienced in Darmstadt.
Germany is a great country and I think it is getting better and better. The new generation will be 'less sauer' thats for sure and even if there are some tensions amongst the immigrants, Germany has a multicultural future which is the best that could happen. I found Germany an excellent example as to how to have a new start after a disasterous past, and how to build something prosperous and peaceful.
