While going on my morning walk of the property, I discovered a tenant who had been deceased for a number of days by noticing a bizarre amt of flies in the window and a foul smell in the air as I walked by her apartment. The time was late August and it happened during the week that the property owner was away on vacation in France and unreachable.

Every third night I slept on a train to save money. I might even go to a destination 4 hours away, and then take a return train to the same town to save money. Before I left I gave my mom an itenerary and I had to write home once a week, a letter that took 5 days to get to the United States. I saw Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Berlin (which was hard to get into), Amsterdam, London, Paris, Madrid, the Spanish Riviera (for 5 days of relaxing), Rome, Pisa, Florence, Vienna, Venice, and several stops in Switzerland and Austria. Plenty of people went to Europe, but not a female travelling alone throughout the continent for 8 weeks. I was 20 years old.

We were in a little town called Maria Alm, Austria during the fall Harvest Festival. I was called up to the stage, during an outdoor celebration, and I got to play an Alpenhorn. You know, those big long horns you see in the Riccola commercials. I competed with two others who were called up to the stage to see who could play jingle bells the best. I won! Quite an experience. I don’t think any of my friends have ever played an Alpenhorn in Austria.

That was the year of the USA Miracle Hockey Team! We attended several events an loved every bit of it. I also attended the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. I don't know anyone else who has attended any Olympic Games.Colleen G. Brown Pasqualehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402783115333431440noreply@blogger.com
