A story of the past & probably told before-I was 16 going on 17 & having an affair with my school teacher, whom I later married-She lived in a village 65 miles away when on vacation-She was coming to Geneva during christmas vacation, as I remember- Geneva was 27 miles from where I lived-I took the bus to meet her there & we took in a movie & snack afterwards.
As it worked out I miss the last bus at 11 p.m. going back my way-I decided all I could do was hitch hike-I started walking and being during the war & gas rationing, very little traffic-In fact I remember only six or seven cars all night-a very cold night & some snow-
No one of the few cars would stop, so I walked all the way back to within one mile of my home town-A farmer on his way to town picked me up for the last mile, so a walk of 26 miles on a cold winter night-It took me about 7 & a half hours to do the 26 miles-I was very sore and feet blistered some-Never walked that far again in this lifetime-
Guess these are the things you do when you are young & in love-
