In the Margins of My Eastern Europe Guidebook

I had Rick's "Europe in your Pocket" in my pack in 1990 and very much enjoyed the tour. It did almost get me into trouble at one point, though, where I turned up late in a small Italian town where the guide said that a particular hotel owner would find alternative accommodations should his place be full. I would guess, from the hotelier's invective against "Rickeee Steveee" that I was not the first to ask... Fortunately there was one last train out of the town or I'd have had to sleep on the beach. I shake my head when I think back to how reckless I was in my 20s... good times
ReplyDeleteI remember suggesting to you long ago about a few things to do when you were in Krakow...one of my favorite cities in the world! I love those moments of travel that bring back so many memories...just like simple handwriting in the margins of a book.
