And sometimes you get lost on purpose.” In the summer of 1971, a bored and callow sixteen-year-old boy embarks on a study tour that he hopes will expose him to ”The Comparative Cultures of Europe.” But what he learns instead are the truths you encounter when you’re far from home. From the glittering streets of Madrid and Paris to the ancient sites of Rome and Athens, Bird Without Wings explores the excitement and uncertainty of ...

They rush through sites and have schedules that may be too rigorous for an older parent. I hope the advice I share here will help ...

They didn't make their planned destination of Istanbul as they found that Eastern Europe was now what the embassy called "The Wild East". This is Sam's record of their trip.
