From Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance:
I’d been feeling this way all through my stay in Europe. . . For three weeks I had traveled alone, down one side of the continent and up the other, by bus and train mostly, guidebook in hand. (page 301)
Obama relates experience he had in Europe on pages 301-304 of this book.
To be fair to Obama’s Senate and Campaign team, I asked them for a record of his travel since 2004.
But I do think that this helps fill out Obama’s European profile — though some will still argue that seeing Europe and wrangling (or even drinking tea) with its leaders are different sorts of experiences.
