THE BRUSSELS POST, SEPTEMBER 1978 Sugar and .Spice. by 51.11 There's probably only one thing more boring than being forced to watch slides of someone else's holiday jaunt, and that is having to listen. to them tell about it, But if you think that you are going to get away with only two columns about "-OUR TRIP" you might as well turn over to the real. estate ads right now, gentle reader. Not after I spent all that money. I've had two long distance calls and a letter in the past 10 days from. the Chargex people. Seems we went- over our limit by about double, and the bills are still Coming in, Oh, well, that's inflation. On a trip like ours, it's probably a good idea to take notes, or keep a diary. I never do this;,too interested in people and places to try to put them down.Tried to, keep it all in my head, in pictures. Result: for 10 days after we got home I couldn't sleep , with all those pictures, hopelessly mixed, flashing through my mind. When You, hit eight countries in' 14 days, it's more like low-flying than, an in-depth :study of the treasures of Europe. But it's amazing what you can and do see and experience. For the average traveller who is not an art expert, there is serious danger of picking up a couple of diseases, cathedral- itis and baSilicatis.. The symptoms are similar. If -.you see a person with '.head cricked right back, and 'mouth open, he's probably just back from Europe. While the cathedrals are awesome in their structure and art work, they tend to make your feel like avery small minnow in a very large ocean: And 'probably that's -what they're supposed to do. We were in the largest and third-largest in the world, in : Rome and Florence, both designed by Michelangelo, and I doilt care if I never see-another`. They make you humble in the faceOf the patience, the reverence, and the genius that went into their creation. And we saw 'a lot of famous works of art: the Venus de Milo, a stocky broad with no . arms;' the Mon'aLisa, looking anything but enigmatic behind six layers of bullet-proof glass. It was no more thrill than 'looking at a .good color photo of them -in an art book. But that's not the sort of thing you remember from a trip. Youremember the highlights and. the human relations, the bad moments and the exalted ones. Like going , throUgh the Dolomites, a range of mountains so forbidding they make the Rockies look genial, • in .a rainstorm, the driver inching around hairpin' turns. Or a magnificent summer evening with good wine, good .food, good music ; good friends, on a balcony overlooking the beautiful Tivoli gardens, outside Rome. Or wandering around the Mont Martre in Paris, haunt of famous writers and artists over the years, watching the painters at work, haggling over a picture, maybe having your portrait done in 10 minutes. • Or being kicked off 'thegrass in Monte Tips for Filling the freezer with summer produce makes it possible to enjoy delicious, fresh foods all year round. To make sure that all these foods maintain their fresh- ness, pay careful attention to packaging them properly, Food specialists at the Ontario' Food Council, Ministry of A griculture and Food, say that the purpose of packaging is to keep food from drying out and to preserve fOod value, flavor, color an,d texture, Choose bags, Wrappings and Containers that are moisture proof, vapor proof, odorless and tasteless for use. in the feezer, Look for bags' made of special plastic s with no side seams atikl labeled for freezing, Do not Use dear bags used to wrap bread Or Carlo by a surly Monacan cop, Or hustling, through the rain in Heidelberg, tiying to buy suppositories Withyour scanty German.. Or sitting on your balcony in Lucerne, wondering what the poor folks were doing, as you looked over the lake to the mountains, Or admiring the lady of the streets, who saw us gawking at her as she leaned against a building, turned her back, flipped up her skirt, no pants on, some of the bolder spirits told . me. I, of course, had covered my hand. with my eyes, • or something like that. Or .discovering in your room a small bar-rerigerator, stocked with everything from Coke to•champagne. All you. had to do was help yourself, mark down what you'd used,' and pay for it in the morning. Can't see a North American hotel trusting anyone that much.. Or watching your wife, ,the insomniac at home, sleeping: on the bus, on the ferrry, in the boat in the canals of Amsterdam, on a boat down the Rhine. on the Seine, on the train. The only place .she didn't sleep was in thehotel rooms, worrying about getting up at 6 a.m„ and on the Hovercraft from France to England, which took only 35 minutes. Perhaps the best part of a group tour, as I mentioned, is the relationships you form. We had Canadians from as far apart as Dawson City, the Yukon, and Nova Scotia, the whole breadth of the country. We . had • Americans from California; Texas, 'Illinois, Oregon, and Iowa. And we had five Australians. Have you ever heard a lady from. Texas trying to talk to a middle-aged French-Canadian or a young Australian? It's a riot. At first we were all a bit stand-offish, tending to huddle with our own. But after a feW days we were helping each other with language, funny money and lost luggage. The ladies were exchanging travel irons, hair dryers, recipes, and anecdotes about toilets. Ironically, from this land of separatism and stuff, perhaps the best friends we made on the tour were Quebecois. And I think I know why, 1 dusted off my rusty French and made an effort, and they did the same with their English. An Australian lad and his sister became almost like a son and daughter, to us. A young Canadian school teacher from Calgary wept and hugged and kissed when we bumped into her after the tour, in London: `We drank dinner with two handsome young couples from Illinois several times, The Ladies Texas invited us down for Christmas. Donald, from Quebec, wants me to find a school where his. daughter can learn English. And I was like to be kissed and hugged to death by 18-year-old Cathy, from Oregon.
