Rick
Steves' Europe Through the Back Door 2004: The Travel Skills Handbook
by Rick Steves, Avalon Travel Publishing
"The more money you spend, the bigger the wall you build between yourself
and the culture you traveled so far to visit. Stay in the small inns, eat
in family-style restaurants, visit out-of-the-way places, rub elbows with
the locals. You'll spend less money and have a great time in the process."
This is Rick Steves's "back door" travel philosophy. For more than 25 years,
he has traveled and led tours around Europe, finding and sharing the joy
of simplicity and openness. Along with tried-and-true tips on packing,
transport, sleeping and eating well on a budget, and meeting the locals,
Steves reveals more than 30 "back doors" found throughout Europe, from
a tiny lake town in Austria to the narrowest gorge in the world, which
winds through Crete. If Europe is your destination, this book is more important
than your luggage.

McCarthy's
Bar: A Journey of Discovery in the West of Ireland
by Pete McCarthy
While most travel writers seek out opportunities to meet the famous--or
the infamous--McCarthy has the charming knack of just bumping into them
on his rambles, which is how he met Noel Redding, formerly of Jimi Hendrix's
band, and the author Frank McCourt. Far more interesting, though, are the
eccentric and talkative bachelors and landladies who turn up in pubs, B&Bs,
and the middle of the road. McCarthy has mastered the art of getting creatively
lost, wandering the back lanes of Ireland where the hype of tourism has
yet to arrive, pursuing stone circles, impossibly romantic ruined abbeys,
and, of course, pubs. What he discovers is that "In Ireland, the unexpected
happens more than you expect," which makes for a hilarious tour through
one of the most beautiful, friendly, and quirky places on earth with a
comedian who has honed the art of telling a good story and of having fun.
