It was a round trip ticket and good for 1 year. I spent the next 11 months hitchhiking in Western Europe and Morocco. The $600 I brought with me, lasted six months. When it ran out of money, I found a job in Hidelberg, Germany, working for Italians at Pizzeria San Remo, serving mostly Americans from the Army base close by. I also did odd and end jobs in London where I lived for number of months before retuning to N.Y. then hitchhiking home in the winter of '72 to arrive Christmas Eve.

Finally went to college and received my B.A. Special Major at CSULB, the same year as our 20th high school reunion. I went on to UCLA, where I earned an M.A.Arch.History. Worked and ran restaurants in LA and Vegas for 17 yrs. Last thing I did in LA before moving back to Salinas to help my aging mom, was to open and live in my own Antique Store. That was a blast!
