Day 356 — Final Day—Paris to home, 10 francs
23-Jul-1972 (Sun.)
It’s my
final day in Europe. 356 days of an incredible
European adventure that is coming to an end. An
adventure I can never again replicate. I’m still
depressed by not being with Anjali today, and today’s
post gives an uncharacteristic negative feeling. I’m
usually a bit more chipper and positive. Don’t worry,
I’ll be ok. I think.
At the end of my day in Paris, I had 10 French francs left. That’s about $2 US. Do I make it home?
Yes. I’m home. Good old, home, sweet home. Hi mom. Hi Mike, Steve, Frank, and Dennis.
Plenty of photos today. See my family. See ALL the pictures of me from 1971.
It was an amazing year.
THE END

Day 170: Get Ready, Munich
Day 170 — Get Ready, Munich
19-January-1972 (Mittwoch–Wed.)
This year’s concert experiences have been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a young music student. I have never been able to recreate this musical journey to this day, 36 years later.
I get ready for my trip to Munich to see my college friends of Montclair State, followed by a ski trip to Kitzbuhel to see my brother. I leave at night. Exciting.

Day 167: Back to music
Day 167 — Back to music
16-January-1972 (Sonntag–Sun.)
It’s back to some concertizing in Vienna. A Beethoven mass and Brahm’s symphony. Music heals the soul. In 2008, I need some soul healing—back to the blog.
My brother and college buddies are coming to Europe. I’m going to try and hookup with them.

Day 94 — Meet brother Dennis
04-November-1971 (Thur.)
I have
nothing to say about 1971 today. After a bit of
digging in my past, I find some old photos. I
introduce to you my brother, Dennis (age 8 or so),
who saw me off at the airport on Day 001 of this
blog. Dennis is a great kid.

Day 001: The journey begins
08/03/07 09:30 AM Filed in: Vienna
Day 1 — The journey begins
03-Aug-1971 (Tue.)
Pan Am,
Flight 72, 6:00 pm, 747
The journey begins. My first time on a plane. Heck, I had never been outside of NJ, NY, VT, and PA.
I'm on the way to Vienna, Austria for a year's graduate study. Perhaps one of the best years of my life.
For each day that I have a journal entry, I transcribe the entry and then give my retrospective commentary looking back from today, 36 years later. I have posted a few pages of the original journal in the Pictures/Photo section of this website. They are on the small size but give you the general idea of the original.
I hope that you join me. Enjoy.
