These are just a sampling of the places I've visited through the medium of books:<br />Twain's Mississippi<br />Gerald Durell's Greece, Cameroons etc., <br />Arthur Upfields' Australia<br />Pearl S. Buck's China<br />Farley Mowat's Canada<br />Che Guevarra's Argentina<br /><br />Now that I think of it, I'm hard put to name places I <b>haven't</b> visited through the medium of books.Liane Spicerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035607144500219524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-23688380295120269812010-03-02T11:18:00.179-05:002010-03-02T11:18:00.179-05:00Hey Cuz-In-Law!

When we “went” to Greece I just knew it had to be the most amazing place on earth. Although I have quite a few stamps in my passport, I haven’t made it to Greece. But it’s still on my list of places to visit after ALL these years. As for US locals, I love Hilton Head and Brenda Jackson’s The Ties That Bind and Rochelle Aler’s Lessons Of A Lowcountry Summer does the area justice.

Growing up, there were few books set on my island so just about everything I read took me to different exotic lands. As an adult, "Return to Laughter," by Elenore Smith Bowen and "The Forest People" by Colin Turnbull took me to Africa, a place I'd like to visit. "I Rigoberta Menchu" took me to Guatemala. These are the top three of an extensive list.Jewel Amethysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813773386476356666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-84913452242393049052010-03-02T09:29:56.718-05:002010-03-02T09:29:56.718-05:00There was this series of books when I grew up call...There was this series of books when I grew up called the "you were there" books. I read quite a few of those and enjoyed traveling to exotic locals.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
