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.

Radio Segment TWO, Live tomorrow!

Tomorrow, at 1:40 or 1:45, you can hear me play LIVE on Radio San Vicente via a live stream on their website.

It is 6:40am Chicago time, TOMORROW Thursday Jan 28th.

Just go to http://www.radiosanvicente.com/programas.php?user=__public__
and there is a bar that says "escuchanos"(listen to us) and if you click there, a popup with the streaming radio comes on.

But remember, it will be at that time, so I would advise listening around 6:30am or so.

Even if you don't understand what is being said, I think you'll know what it is when the fluent spanish speaker stops talking and you begin to hear a slow, poorly spoken 6 minute segment.

Enjoy!
