*Brief weather-in-France story...I arrived in Europe for the first time in Italy in September 1967. At a youth hostel in Florence I met a young girl of Austrian descent who lived in Belgium. I told her I was going to try to hitchhike to Paris and she asked me if she could accompany me as far as Munich. An American engineer picked us up near Bolzano in a brand new red Porsche. Here she was ascending the Alps in a sports car with two nice Americans. It was a sunny, beautiful day. She was, I am pretty sure, thrilled about how this hitchhiking idea had turned out. Oh yes, the weather. At one point, as the Porsche climbed upwards, she said to me, "Thomas, look at the sun. You're not going to see it again for 6 months." I studied in Paris until the May '68 protests when my school shut down. The young woman's quip about the weather held much truth.
