France, Switzerland and italy
I've seen them all during
my summer vacation. And my
total expenses, including ev-
erything from museum en-
trance fees in Paris to gon-
dola rides in Venice, never
exceeded 500 monthly.
I hitchhiked and hoSteled.
My thumb was a free ticket
to travel. My bed cost me IS
cents a night.
Cheap? YeS-and in a very
rewarding way.
/ remember that day a gray
haired woman leaned out of
a third-floor apartment build
ing on the outskirts of a small
Swedish town. "Say, Ameri-
can" she shouted, would you
like a cup of coffee?"
I looked up quickly. "Sure
would" l replied.
Going up TO her apartment,
I discovered she was a native
born Swede living in Chicago.
She was visiting her home
land for the summer and had
noticed my vain effort to get
a lift to Stockholm. Seeing the
American flag on my KNAPP

cided to ask me up for coffee.
