A Year of Adventure is the day-by-day account of one family's year-long journey, from 1968-1969, spanning 36,500 miles through England, Scandanavian countries, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and much more. In this era, Eastern Europe was still behind the Iron Curtain causing immense and even terrifying ordeals with bureaucracy. Driving from nation to nation in a Volkswagon Microbus, the family's encounters with colorful local people, learning about legends and history, amazing sights and more are illustrated with simple black-and-white photographs. A thoroughly enjoyable travelogue offering a vibrant, personal portrait of Europe during the late 60's.
