I was 19. Touring Western Europe on a bus.
This was the song our tour guide blasted every morning just after we’d lugged our too big suitcases down to the curb, stumbled onto the bus, found our seats and had fallen back to sleep.
She didn’t want us to miss the sights sleeping, you see. It was our theme song.
It woke me up every time.
And always reminds me of Europe. On a bus.
Good times.
Don’t forget to head over to Jori’s and Diane’s place to see what’s moving others today!
wow, sounds like a really good time! i would have loved to experience that sort of thing when i was young. i’ll just have to do it when i get old, i suppose! lol
(btw, i literally JUST heard this song on the radio!)
Nothing like traveling in Europe when you’re young like that. I do so remember that and would like to forget some of it. 😉
What a fun memory. You must be pulled back everytime you hear any song from it!!
isnt it weird how some songs can take you back so vividly?
i’d love to hear some stories from that trip!

HAHA I know, I can’t braid to save my life, and I have the girliest of girls for a datuhger. I keep trying to French braid her hair and she ends up looking like an alien with a big giant head. I just can’t keep it tight. I’ll keep trying, and hopefully sometime I can do this awesome braid for her! It’s lovely!

Happy Musical Monday!
what a great memory–i love that song!
I love Tom Petty’s Music. It rocks 🙂
Oh I can’t think of a better song to wake up to. In Europe. On a bus. lol Sounds like a blast!
Amazing how music takes you back, isn’t it? Love that song!!
Last year for the holidays we treelvad to see family. Wanting to save money I prepared kolaches (stuffed bread rolls) with the roll recipe. I made breakfast kolaches with sausage, eggs and cheese; and taco kolaches with taco meat, cheese, salsa. We heated them up if we had stopped for gas or ate them cold. They were great both ways. Upon arriving from Kansas to Indiana, I discovered I still had plenty left so my nieces and nephews began eating them. They absolutely loved them! My family has huge dinners and after the Christmas dinner my grandmother was trying to figure out what to do with all the eclectic leftovers for our New Years dinner. I suggested Kolaches. We had turkey and cheese, ham and cheese, taco again (my aunt makes a mean taco meat). My family could not believe how fast and easy the bread recipe was and how fast it was to utilize all the leftovers into a new meal!! I ended up selling 6 kits and showing all my aunts and cousins how to make other recipes as well! The pizza crust, which we used for stuffed crust pepperoni pizza and breakfast pizza, cinnamon rolls, monkey bread, and of course the kolaches were big hits and delicious! As always it was a trip full of family, good food, laughs, and love! Tia Schroeder from Wichita, KS (the Ice family from Alexandria, IN)

Would love to hear more about your trip to Europe. Have you been back since this trip at 19? Would you ever go back? What were the favorite places you visited? I went to Europe once too. I was going into 8th grade. I don’t remember much and guess I did not appreciate it at the time. Don’t know if I would go back.
How cool that you toured Europe! I bet it was awesome!!!!!
This is a great theme song.

I have never even been out of the country! I bet touring Europe was great!
Tom Petty brings back lots of memories. I did the Europe thing on a bus, too. Learned how to crawl up in the luggage rack above the seats and sleep. Seriously!
Gonna have to hear more about that Europe tour one of these days!
Blessings!
Fabulous memory! When I was 19 I was living in Eastern Europe.
I love it when songs bring back great memories.
I’m glad I am finally able to view your blog. It came up blank several times today!
I LOVE the songs i associate with my time in Europe! Glad you have them too!….now i won’t be able to get “Running Down a Dream” out of my head (even though I only know the chorus) 🙂
Awesome! What a great memory. I love how sounds and smells can take you right back. TOo cool!
I remember you going on that trip. You came back and told me I looked like a German and I was so afraid you ment that I was getting really fat. I had this image in my head of a big robust woman in a viking outfit. I bet you had such a great trip!

Nice taste, ma’am.
I want to tour Europe with Tom Petty singing in my ear.
Truly, that’s the BEST idea I’ve had all day. Thanks for the inspiration.
