Books that Caught My Eye

Today I ran across two books at the Golden Braid Bookstore, which is located in Salt Lake City, that I wanted to share. The first one is Change Your Life Through Travel by Jillian Robinson. Speaking from experience, I swear I come home a changed person. Right along side was 1,000 Places to See Before You Die by Patricia Schultz. I could check off a few places but sure would like to see more. Now if only I could accrue a 1,000 days of paid vacation.

Tuareg People of Africa

Today I had the opportunity to learn about the Tuareg people of northern Africa. They are a nomadic culture that lives in the Sahara Desert. If you want to learn more about their culture, visit the Tuareg Culture link.

Trees along the North Shore in Hawaii

Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far! John Muir
