Local girl reports on seven -week trip Lynn Gaiser, youngest daughter of Jack and Maxine Gaiser, left in June for a seven -week European trip with two university friends. The following resume in Lynn's version of her trip. By Lynn Gaiser When I first decided to join my companions, Lisa and Cathy to backpack across Europe for seven weeks, I anticipated intriguing ac- cents, cappucino at Paris cafes and of course, the people and the many different cultures. I also expected long train rides, a few cold showers and the need for a great deal of pa- tience, but with Cathy and Lisa, even the less pleasant parts of the trip were interesting. We flew to London, England with the security of our Let's Go Europe guide book, and travelled through- out France, Monaco, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Austria and Germany. We stayed mostly in youth hostels which were often cleaner and more comfortable than the low income hotels. Cathy, Lisa and I decided to go as cheap as possible; however, in Florence, Italy, shopping at the markets and packing well became a necessity. We also found it impos- sible to resist French pastry and Italian gelato (ice cream). This did not help us achieve our goal to be- come toned, tanned and c'tltured. We became tanned on the French Riviera in Nice as well as in Greece, where we found nudge vol- leyball a common beach sport. By this point, I felt I was becoming cultured. Absorbing the different ways of life became extremely in- teresting and fun, but it is difficult to say what I enjoyed most. Many of the sights were breath- taking and we saw many. For ex- ample, St. Paul's Cathedral in Lon- don, the Vatican, the Roman Fo- rum and Coliseum, the Eiffel Tower, and the Louvre which con- tains the Mona Lisa and Aphrodite. Michelangelo's "David" however, was my favorite piece of artwork. These sights were amazing but even more exciting undertakings in- cluded the Jack the Ripper tour, go- ing to Mount Titus in Zurich, Switzerland by cablecar (10,000 feet high), attending the Cannes Film Festival and zooming around Greece by moped. When I think of everything I saw, it doesn't seem to compare to, the people we encountered. Artists were, everywhere on the streets. I remem- ber walking across a bridge in Paris full of talented painters, musicians, people with marionettes and artists using chalk on pavement. Other people we met included tourists like ourselves. We met several Canadians, Americans and Austrialians.. The people of Europe we found to be very friendly. Many went out of their way to help with direc- tions, warn us of pickpockets and we were often taken out on the town. We were also lucky to stay with Lisa's relatives in Italy for a while. They spoke Italian - and that's all - but it wasn't as difficult to com- municate with them as I thought it would be. Their openness and hos- pitality were overwhelming and hey truly made Cathy and I feel Tike a part of the family. With all the great people we met and the beautiful countries, it was difficult to leave. The three of us were determined to make the trip an adventure and Cathy and Lisa were the best possible friends to do this with. It wouldn't have been the same without them and I would eagerly do it again.
