Further Adventures of the Desert Sailor 1950-1951 by James Fitch PDF Summary

Book Description: Some readers complained about the abrupt end of Desert Sailor on the San Francisco waterfront in 1946 so the WW II sailor published a sequel that takes him and his bride through a new and much more enjoyable series of peacetime adventures. After his honorable discharge from the navy Fitch went to Harvard College as a GI Bill student. He fell for a pretty Irish Radcliffe girl in a Spanish class. In his senior year he won a Sheldon Travel Fellowship, graduated on a Thursday in June 1950 and married Claire Thompson the following Sunday. Three months later they were in South America. Follow their "Extreme Economy Class" travels, in which they covered 13,000 miles by rail, jitney, bus, truck, ferry, steamship and bulk grain carrier, through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Brazil.
