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
