This is my blog which will mostly be about my family and what I like to read.
A book I just finished reading made me just want to get up and go.
Here is a review I just wrote for my work website...
DERVLA MURPHY’S - IN ETHIOPIA WITH A MULE
Do you like adventure with a touch of interesting cultural history?
Dervla Murphy ventures where many wouldn't dare, living with the “natives” sharing their food, drink, homes, lives, and especially their fleas. With Jock her mule, her steadfast companion, she walks from Asmara in the north through the highlands of Ethiopia over mountains cliffs, steep ravines, jungle – like forests, past leopards, and dangerous Kalashnikov carrying “shifta” (the local robber bands) to Addis Ababa in the south.
"It's the gradual growth of affection for another race,.. that is the real achievement and the richest reward'.
Brilliant you want to keep journeying with her to the ends of the earth.
