We find Europe in our notebooks when we look up the telephone number of the Polish plasterer, the concierge of a small hotel in Odense, the secret lover in Amsterdam or maybe Graz??. In our notebooks, Europe is present with numerous addresses of holiday cottages in Kent, business partners in Vienna, grandchildren in Barcelona, friends in Rome, teachers in Novi Sad, colleagues in Budapest, vine growers in Bordeaux.
