Are you an Old Hippie? Are your parents? If so, this book is for you, or for them! Our friends Brus and Jean Westby travelled the “Great Hippie Trail” back in 1970, at a time in America marked by the Vietnam War, social unrest and change, a proliferation of psychedelic drugs, and a quest for a meaningful spiritual path. After college, the young couple travel overland through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, bound for ‘Mother India’ and compelled by a desire to explore a world different than their own, a world of mystery, challenge and discovery. In this recounting of their eventful journey, Brus weaves together the reassuring letters they wrote home to their families and the more accurate and compete account of their adventures and lessons learned along the way.
