Some Christmas Thoughts and New Year's Wishes!

Thank you for being a subscriber to our globetrotting booklovers blog!

Last year, this website was a gift from Kees to me. I designed the site from scratch and learned so much about links and html and automated messages… We both LOVE sharing our travel adventures with you.

On this Christmas Day, we recommend curling up with a book by fellow Salt Spring author Patrick Taylor: the Irish Country Doctor series. We’ve read them all. They are so cozy and comfy and rooted in rural Ireland.

We can also all adopt an Icelandic tradition: to give books and chocolate to friends and family on Christmas Day. It doesn’t get much better than that. I know that most of the parcels under our tree are book shaped! Wishing you a Jólabókaflód for Christmas!

To make a difference, throughout the year, with many global literacy programs, often grassroots that directly reach children and educators, please click LITERACY PROJECTS regularly.

Also check out the ever-growing list of BOOKS. We add to them as we plow through many books during this Covid-era. Simply scroll down to the country of your choice.

Stay tuned for many more adventures in 2022 as we will take you from Thailand to Easter Island and many places in between. We’ll visit Vancouver Island and tell you about great hikes in Holland.

SENDING YOU BEST WISHES FOR A HEALTHY NEW YEAR

FULL OF NEW ADVENTURES!
