Great travel stories! I sailed through this book in one setting, yet felt totally immersed in the locations and environments throughout. The author does a great job of giving the reader a description of travel that is so vivid that you can almost feel like you're there. In addition to the picturesque details, the narrative also includes the realistic, less glamorous side of traveling, which gives the reader a true appreciation of the whole experience.

This is a very good book. It was written by an author who grew up in my hometown and whose parents I know. He relates some of the adventures and misadventures of traveling through Europe.
