Day 327 — Arrival in Poland—what a day
24-Jun-1972 (Sat.)
I’m in
Poland. A totally incredible day of travel with a
long post that documents parts of my journey to
Poland and my first impressions of communist Poland.
A book-learned kid suddenly wakes up to the real
world and finds that people are friendly the world
over and that soldiers carry machine guns. And that
you can sometimes travel to the wrong town in the
wrong part of the country on steam locomotives.

Day 011: Danube boat party, the Iron Curtain

Day 11 — Danube boat party, the Iron Curtain
13-August-1971 (Fri.)
No short
posts here. Live on-the-spot journaling, documenting
an exciting full-day excursion on the Blue, err
Green, Danube River that flows by Vienna
(Wein).
Sightseeing, plenty of photos, and more.
I’m up to the task and only briefly let the armed patrol boat, barbed-razor-wire security fence (the Iron Curtain), and the armed machine-gun guards in the towers “shock” me. Welcome to Czechoslovakia and communism in the 60’s and 70’s.
Anjali, a young, pretty girl, comes to the rescue. We sightsee, eat, and then learn to dance. I’m her first dance partner.
