If It's Europe, It Must Be Friday: EuroTrip in 1965

Today is Be a Millionaire Day! If I were a millionaire, I'd head to Europe. Yeah it's older, and grungier, and grouchier than the United States—but, like, they get a month off from work. And they drink wine at lunch. Or, at least, the Mediterraneans do.

Speaking of Europe, check out this tiny collection of 51 year-old snapshots I found, documenting a trip to the The Continent in 1965. They belonged to Lena, the youngest of the Seoul Sisters.

I was told this picture was taken in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1965. I have absolutely no trouble believing that.

This one, I'm not sure. What is this mystery building in the background? It could be anywhere in Western Europe. If you know, drop us a line. We'd love to hear from you! :) **UPDATE 05/24/16** Many thanks to reader JW for identifying the building as Schonbrunn Palace.

This one, I'm told, was taken in the dorms at the University of Bordeaux in 1965.

This is a photo of Lena with her Euro-trip boyfriend, Bill McGeer. All I know about Bill is, he was originally from Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Actually, he was from Southern Rhodesia, to be exact—which only officially started calling itself Rhodesia when Northern Rhodesia became Zambia. Yes, African history is confusing—but check out the Wolseley!

On the back of the Bill McGeer/Wolseley snapshot, I found this hand-scribbled to-do note:

Miss Epeneter —Make up break + lunch schedule for morning. Miss Pollack will do afternoon ones. Look at yellows. Get smock. 2 arms medium. No holes in pockets. Long sleeves.

I'm told this may be in reference to Lena's seasonal college job at The Emporium in San Francisco. "Yellows" were control copies of sales transactions. "White for the customer, pink for the credit department if it was charged on an Emporium charge card, blue for UPS if it had to be delivered, and yellow for the department." Also, they wore smocks to do inventory because it was "dusty in the warehouse."
