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 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 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.
