Best vacation ever.
William Shirer, the foreign correspondent who is best known for his book, "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" describes in the preface of his previous book, "Berlin Diary" the best vacation I can imagine.
Burned out from years overseas and a tropical disease, Mr. and Mrs. Shirerer decided to rest and recover for as long as possible. He explains that, due to the falling value of the US dollar during the depression, their $1000 life saving only lasted them for a year, after which he returned to work in Berlin. They rented an 8 room villa with a cook and housekeeper on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. Every day was spent walking and swimming, reading and writing. Every evening they stayed up late talking current affairs with their neighbor. At some point each evening their neighbor would get out his guitar and give them a private concert. The neighbor was Andre Segovia.
