Destination Europe: The Summer the World Changed

This is an informative travelogue written by two librarians who vacation in Europe together where they visit England, Rome, Paris, and Belgium. For 30-year-old Nicole, it’s her exciting first trip to Europe and for 40-year-old Isabella, it’s a chance to recover after her husband’s recent death.

Come along with them as they follow the footsteps of the Caesars, marvel at the beauty of the Sistine Chapel, see Monet’s Garden at Giverny, and go on a literary pilgrimage in Great Britain. Feel their frustration and grief aboard a plane on September 11, 2001, where they first hear about the terrorist attacks in New York City. Stranded in London while all the planes are grounded, where will they go after the attack and when will they be able to come back home? Read all about it in their descriptive and illuminating journal entries.
