Chapter 29 of my autobiographical novel of backpacking thru Western Europe in 1973 at age 18. One of my many memorable train encounters, I share a compartment with a forty-something Italian businesswoman on the train from Florence to Venice interested in hearing the stories of my travels to pass the time, and who ends up sharing a very intimate story of her own. She buys me dinner in the dining car and I ponder the nature of a fair exchange. Contains adult language and sexual discussion.
