Super Rough Draft!! (This is not how this will actually be written.)
Plot/ main character:
An old business man from Salzburg, Austria. Throughout his adulthood he enjoyed collecting antiques from China, the one country he had been able to visit outside of his own, (Stamp, Jug [incense]). After retiring he decides to travel the world, curious of the cultures and people he had never had the opportunity to meet.
While traveling and meeting new people, he relives many childhood memories from his historic hometown, Salzburg. The old women of the town (Relating to the blanket later on), chatting in the downtown area in the winter while his favorite snack, (chestnuts), was being toasted by vendors on the street corners.
**With nothing but his wallet "Mongolian, bought in china", filled with a few Euro he was off.
His first stop was to N. America, where he had always dreamed of canoeing the Mississippi River. Beginning in Itasca: Minneapolis/ St. Paul, St. Louis (retirement home on the river, old chatty ladies give him the blanket as a gift), Memphis, Choctaw Tribe in Louisiana (Plate), ending in New Orleans.
Next stop: South America, Andes Mountain. Meets a young rancher on a small goat farm.
Last stop: Africa; Meets a young Maasai woman in southern Kenya. He stays there and learns the ways of her tribe; customs, traditions etc. As a parting gift he is given a hand carved wooden portrait of himself made by one of the young Maasai boys.
