On our voyage across the Atlantic we met two ship officers.
We spent a lot of time with them and I ended up sharing about my
pregnancy with one. He told me that abortions were legal in
Yugoslavia and that he would be willing to set me up with an a doctor
friend he knew in his home town of Rijeka which was just over the
border from Trieste, Italy. It sounded like a good solution to me, to
take care of this little “problem” early on in our travels. I was already
experiencing nausea which was getting worse in the rough seas we
were encountering while crossing the Atlantic. Arrangements were
made to meet them one month later in Rijeka, when they would be at
home on leave.

When we disembarked in Casablanca, Jan and I took a train to
Tangiers and then took a ferry across to Gibraltar, where I bought a
car. I won’t go into a lot detail about all the adventures we had in
Europe, as that alone could fill another book. We drove that vehicle
up the coast of Spain, across the French Riviera, and on into Italy,
stopping in Venice, before crossing the border into Yugoslavia.
