Day 341 — Warsaw
08-Jul-1972 (Sat.)
I arrive
in Warsawa today, alone and by myself. I spend most
of the day walking around, finally finding a room. My
comments speak to the drab architecture of the
communist era. Google Warsaw today for images—drab no
more, it ain’t.

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 18 — Salzburg, Austria; first train trip
20-August-1971 (Fri.)
Mozart’s
birth city — Salzburg, Austria. I take my first train
ride, totally standing up, to this wonderful city.
Salzburg welcomes me with a hail storm and no student
service to help me. What to do? Find a room, walk
around, listen to music, and enjoy. Which I do.
Photography is my hobby and Salzburg is a great place to take photographs. (Photos coming soon.) If you aren’t already taking digital pictures, you should be. Come on. Pictures are memories!
