A true story about five guys from the Midwest, ages 20 & 21, who traveled and lived in a VW bus through Europe in the summer of 1960, visiting 15 countries, prior to their senior years in college. They drank a lot of beer, and met a lot of "girls." There is history discribed, primarily in cities like London, Paris, Stockholm, Brussels, Copehagen and Rome. They visited Yugoslavia when it was a communist country and were stopped in the middle of the night by the police on a dark country road. The trip lasted 84 days, ending with 17 days at the Rome Olympics. They were able to secure airplane tickets on the Olympic team charter flight back to the USA. Cassius Clay was on the flight. The book is based mainly on a daily diary that Tom Blake, the author, posted to. Also, the love letters home from one of the guys to his girlfriend in Indiana, who later became his wife. And the memories, several years later, of another of the men. Three are still living; two have passed away. A fun, gutsy, read about a fun, gutsy trip. And they made it on about $5 a day, using the book, "Europe on Five Dollars a Day" as their guidebook.
