The Eurail Pass was introduced in 1959, a brilliant invention that allowed the bearer to board a train at more than 40,000 locations and travel to and from just about anywhere in Europe at no additional cost. During the 1960s and 70s, hundreds of thousands of college students in the United States, Canada and other countries took advantage of it to spend a summer touring Europe, sleeping in hostels and campgrounds, making friends, finding romance, and just plain having fun. This is the story of one of those students, a newly-minted graduate of Southeastern university, who in the 1970s worked his way over on a Norwegian freighter from Newark, New Jersey to Barcelona, Spain. Then, over three-months, he and a friend traveled by train from Barcelona, to Alicante and Madrid, and then to S矇te, Nice, Monte Carlo and on to Rome, Florence, Venice, Salzburg, Grindelwald, Cologne, Oslo, Amsterdam, and finally, to Paris, Edinburgh, and London-finding romance and high adventure all along the way. It was an inspiring and life-changing experience that the author is delighted to share-along with a photographic record of people and places he came to know and love. This is the adventure of a lifetime. Whatever you do, do not miss it.
