Subject: Re: Tuesday Chatting 3-27-12 by TommyT-Bone on 2012/3/28 2:51:49 In 1972 I went to Czechoslovakia. The country at that time was like 20 years behind the times. The men, clean shaven, collar shirts, slacks, the women all wore dresses. Here I come boppin in with long hair and loud clothes. I stuck out wherever I went. My grandmother asked my mom if I was a girl because of the hair and clothes thing. I got strip searched in Prague because I looked freaky. Cool thing was there was no drinking age so at 16 I hit the local watering hole every day. Sometimes twice. I drank home made apple wine from the root cellar at my grandmothers mountain home. I fell in love like three times while I was there. It opened my eyes to the world. Then I came back to the States. I liked Europe so much I went back for almost 3 1/2 more years from Jun 1974 to Nov 1977 in the USAF. I have some pics of me from that era but I ain't gonna show em. No way, no how. At least not right now. |
