Rick Steves' Europe

Various commentary/musings related to Rick Steves:

Carly just met Rick Steves in Italy, where she traveled with her dad for Spring Break.

I was looking up information on Turkey on Rick's website and came across this writing gem: "High above on the hillside, the lone but happy song of a goatherd's flute plays golden oldies. 'Why do you play the flute?' I asked the goatherder. He said, 'So the goats know they are loved.'"

I asked my host parents if they knew who Rick Steves was, and they had no clue.

I was thinking about if a European DID recognize Rick Steves, they would most likely categorize him as the almost-too-friendly American traveler who wears khaki shorts and practical shoes everywhere, with a gaggle of American tourists asking him for an autograph.
