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 354 — In Vienna, last day, 1320s
21-Jul-1972 (Fri.)
The
excitement builds towards the conclusion of my trip
as I spend my last day in Vienna. My mom sends me
$100 (surprise) but I can’t cash it (bigger
surprise). What to do? What to do? I think we all
know the answer.
Even in 2009, I’m getting a little emotional over everything. I feel like I coming back home again. Deja vù.

Day 197 — 25s a day, oh my!
15-February-1972 (Dienstag–Tue.)
“25s a day, oh my” can be sung to the Follow the Yellow-brick Road song in The Wizard of Oz. 25 Austrian schillings a day. Money, money, money. It’s time to follow the yellow-brick road to budgeting expenses.

Day 155 — I’m in a fog; I’m naked next to a girl
04-January-1972 (Dienstag—Tue.)
I’m in a
fog today. Literally. As I don’t want to ski off of a
cliff, I decided to spend the whole day with the ski
class. I talk about money a bit.
Oh, and one of my fantasies almost comes to life—standing naked next to a beautiful girl in a white nurse's outfit, next to a sign that says “Massage.”

Day 146: My Christmas present
Day 146 — My Christmas present
26-December-1971 (Sun.)
SUMMARY
My Christmas present comes today—a package of candy from the elderly lady whose money I found on the bus.
Other than that, myself and two girls wander Vienna's famous graveyard, the Central Cemetery, where many a famous composer is buried. It is foggy. It is eerie. Are the spirits talking to me?
A delightful Bedrich Smetana opera ends the day. Read More...

Day 105 — I find money, a lot of it
15-November-1971 (Mon.)
Today’s big story is about money. I find a lot of it and ponder what to do. If I keep it, I will have about one month’s of living expenses. What to do? What to do?
