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

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 329 — Village life
26-Jun-1972 (Mon.)
Today, I
learn a bit about village life and tending the
garden. It ain’t easy folks. Try pumping the water by
hand, carrying it a distance, and then hand watering
a large garden. The fresh peas and strawberrys made
up for it. Lots of photos today.

Day 327: Arrival in Poland—what a day

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 040: A typical day?

Day 40 — A typical day?
11-September-1971 (Sat.)
A typical day in 1971. Mostly practicing, study, German, and life chores.
I remark how September 11 is no longer a typical day after 2001.
This blog, and other ventures I hope will come about, will not be political, but will be about people—you, me, everyone.

Day 13 — Vienna Woods, Kahlenburg
15-August-1971 (Sun.)
A quiet
day of walking in the Vienna Woods, and then up the
winding path to see a view of Vienna and outlying
vineyards from the heights of Kahlenburg. An
enjoyable day.
A little bit of an aside on my interest in photography and the Kodak slides that are from 36 years ago, and Austrians.

Day 3 — New people, new languages
05-Aug-1971 (Thur.)
Meeting
new and interesting people is fun. I’m enjoying my
newfound exposure to people that speak foreign
languages. Wait a second, in their country I'm the
foreigner with the foreign language.
