Nowak, Patricia “Pat” (Intrepid Traveler - 2014)
Our local senior intrepid traveler has done it again! You may remember the article in which we reported on her 2011 thirteen-day tour of China. Most recently, Patricia “Pat” Nowak, small business owner of the TP Inn and mother of two, as well as grandmother of four, has recently taken a Christmas Market River Cruise along the Danube visiting the cities of Budapest, Vienna, Melk, Linz, Passau, Regensburg, Nuremburg and Prague.
It's truly amazing that this 79-year old youngster, who recently had two knee replacements, walked ably through every Christmas Market, as well as along with every tour available including those of the beautiful Melk Abbey and the somber concentration camp in Terezin.
Whenever possible, Pat capitalizes on the opportunity to take a trip with her 70-year-old sister, Bernie. Together, they have visited Ireland, England, Italy, Greece, Turkey, France, Spain and numerous islands in the Caribbean (yes, she parasailed) as well as the aforementioned cities in Hungary, Austria, Germany and Czechoslovakia.
When asked about the highlight of the last trip, Pat said, “Peter, the ship bartender, was really cute. I wonder if he was married.”
