These sketches were written and published on the Internet over twenty years ago after the author traveled to Italy and Greece on a whim of discovery. Instead of being informative in telling where to eat and what to see or where to stay, they detail experiences that are as varied and diverse as the countries in which the experiences originated. One sketch muses on the bull-jumpers of Crete, while another talks of an inherited taste for wild mushrooms. You'll discover the Vatican workout, and travel from Italy to Greece under the stars on a ferry boat. Prepare for the unusual, the eccentric and a slightly different point-of-view.
