Fried Calamari Looks A Lot Like Onion Rings

By Elaine Macko

Sometimes when you go looking for adventure, you find more than you bargained for...In 1986, armed with a newly minted passport and a pair of kick-ass boots, Elaine Macko went to London for a week-long trip that turned into a 12-year odyssey. Fried Calamari Looks A Lot Like Onion Rings is a delightful, poignant, and sometimes heartbreaking romp through Europe. In addition to her travels and starting up her own business, Ms. Macko managed to meet two U.S. presidents, had tea with the queen of the Belgians and lunch with a countess in her ancient castle, and almost got deported more than once.Somewhere along the line the young, na ve, and insecure young girl who went to Europe on a lark emerged a confident and self-sufficient woman, who managed to carve out a life in a foreign land with sometimes hilarious results. If you've ever longed to travel or been in a relationship that didn't turn out quite like you expected, Fried Calamari Looks A Lot Like Onion Rings will entertain you, make you laugh, and bring a tea to your eye.
