TOURING EUROPE ON YOUR OWN?

     So you’re not going with a packaged tour – you’re traveling in Europe on your own? RICK STEVES has a helpful and delightful website in which travelers to all parts of Europe exchange information about subjects as diverse as good hostels, drinking water, and even getting married in Europe! (Which last may result from another topic on the website, “Magic Moments.”) A sample post is this note about a stay “at a centuries-old working wine and olive oil estate [in Tuscany] that rented rooms and apartments. Our apartment had a small kitchen and we prepared many of our meals after purchasing local produce and meats from the nearby small town shops.” Sound good? There’s a lot more where that came from.
