A Pile of Rocks on the Side of the Road and Other Highlights is a travel journal of the daily adventures taken by Taco, AKA Sandy, with her husband Vidal on their two month European vacation through nine countries, that doubles as a non-traditional guidebook. Taking from her daily journal the highlights of each day, each country and each place visited, Sandy has put together a compilation of 45 humorous stories of their adventures to places such as, but not limited to: England: The pile of rocks of Stonehenge; Italy: Dragging luggage over a thousand bridges and a cheap ride on the beautiful canals in Venice, Florence- the city of David, Pompeii- the city of the dead, a long hike on the crooked path to a crooked house of a crooked ruler and the best sandwich in the world in Capri, piazzas, fountains, roaming the Roman ruins and the best restaurant in the world in Rome; Spain: Gaudi, Picasso, and whipping coins at human statues on Las Ramblas in Barcelona, racing to get to the Alhambra in Granada, around the roundabout with Clark Griswald: Hey kids, Giralda Cathedral and foot stomping flamenco in Seville, the candy cane arches of the Mezquita in Cordoba, fighting Don Quixote's giants in Consuegra and running with the bulls, tripping with Sandy in Pamplona; Switzerland: the ice cold lake of Ascona, the Alps with Heidi and the Cheesemaker; Amsterdam: Anne Frank, Rembrandt a Van Gogh museum not shaped like an ear and falling asleep on a canal cruise; Belgium: a beautiful square, a peeing boy and a food fest in Brussels; Denmark: a special visit to the land of Sandy's ancestors; Paris: An expensive glass of wine and a beer, Bastille Day and chaos in the streets; Vatican City: Raphael and Taco's soapbox in the Museums, the angel guide of St Peter's, when God's hands command the paintbrush - Sistine Chapel Throw in a few friends and cousins, some interesting trivia and a bit of Sandy's self-described overactive imagination and you will have quite a ride in this read
