Synopsis: From Publishers Weekly Key West tour operator Ebensten has been escorting travelers on imaginative expeditions for 40 years. In his early days, his appetite for off-…beat adventure took him around the world as he lived in private castles or YMCAs, w ent beachcombing, or sybaritically covered himself with hot mud in the ancient stone troughs of Italy's Lacco Ameno. He enjoyed a wild night in a dorm itory with 98 armed and priapic motorcycle cops and accepted the casual hos pitality of the rich or famous,partying with Lady Diana Cooper and tutorin g Bertrand Russell's granddaughters. As a tour operator, Ebensten attracted a clientele of artists, scholars, playboys, gays and the more intrepid of the general run of travelers. Under his guidance they tended either to rough it or to live high. In Peru, for example, while others might have satisfi ed themselves with the standard visit to Machu Picchu, his groups trekked t o Vilcabamba, the true Inca capital; in Greece they not only viewed sacred Mount Olympus but climbed it. Stylish, cultivated, witty and frankly gay, Ebensten draws often hilarious portraits of travelers whom readers would not otherwise meet, and places rarely visited. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal The author, whose name is synonymous with gay travel, regales the reader with stories from decades of world exploration. Armchair travelers of any sexual orientation will delight in the vividly picturesque and often humorous accounts of the pleasures and travails of tour conducting in the far reaches of the planet.
