Chapter 21

With each leg of the journey Tia found herself more enamored with Europe, and much more enamored with Dylan. Every city had its own flavor of cultures, food, drink, art and architecture, and she drank it in like a thirsty sponge. They spent a good deal of time together, but Dylan had his work, too, and his schedule varied greatly from day to day. Naturally, Tia attended all the shows, and it never got old watching Dylan and the rest of the boys do what they did best. Occasionally, she’d attend a taping of an interview or TV show, but Tia was determined not to get in Dylan’s way or to be constantly underfoot, and she had no problem wandering the streets of places like Vienna, Geneva and Munich, on her own. With her tourist maps in her bag and her camera at the ready, she quickly mastered the art of public transportation, and enjoyed exploring the cities at a casual pace.

She wanted to remember every minute of this summer, and had brought several journals that were filling up more quickly than she’d imagined. Many afternoons she sat in parks or at sidewalk cafes and wrote about her experiences, the places she’d visited, and her ever-growing feelings for Dylan. She loved watching the people that strolled through the cities; the tourists and locals from each place she visited gave every destination its own character. Sitting alone, she sketched the scenes on empty pages and sent emails and pictures to her friends, creating vivid descriptions of each place. The shops were incredible as well, and she enjoyed picking up unique little souvenirs for everyone back home.

They both loved architecture, and enjoyed touring the many cathedrals and castles that stood sentinel over the cities they visited. Neither was into the club scene—both preferred quiet strolls and occasional shows to the crowds and pulsing beats of the European nightlife. They shared a similar sense of adventure and a love of the outdoors as well, and spent time hiking in the Alps while in Vienna, soaking up the early summer sunshine and enjoying a picnic lunch of wine, bread and cheese in one of the most beautiful settings in the world.

The boys had planned the tour so that they’d have some free time in each of the cities they visited, and whenever Dylan had a free day, he and Tia made it a point to see the highlights of each place. In Geneva they strolled arm in arm through the cobbled streets of Old Town past the tall grey stone houses and past the Rue Fontaine to visit the Temple de la Madeleine, a beautiful gothic church at the center of the square. In the afternoon, they hiked on Mont Saleve, through the woods and up to the expansive meadows filled with summer colors. In Stockholm they took a breathtaking hot
