Wandering Educators Celebrates a Year!


It is remarkably appropriate that I am writing this post from an eco-lodge in Costa Rica, for this is exactly the type of cultural and educational travel endorsed by Wandering Educators, who are celebrating their first anniversary today with lots of new features (including my review of Otalo, the vacation home rental supersite) and wonderful giveaways. Hint, hint, look for all the Roaring Forties Press titles, including both of mine. Comment throughout the day and you'll be sure to come up with something fantastic.

Looking for good Costa Rican literature

I am thrilled to be headed to Costa Rica next week to explore sustainable and meaningful travel (I'm also writing a book review of Lonely Planet's Code Green -- stay tuned at www.wanderingeducators.com), and am looking for suggestions on Costa Rican literature to bring. I am interested in novels, poetry, drama - engaging nonfiction -- you name it!

Thanks -- I'll send you a postcard!

About the Precipice



On the eve of my fortieth birthday, I am thinking about the path I want to take for the next forty years. I am crossing my fingers for the wonderful luck, love, and happiness that I've enjoyed for the first forty (minus that haircut in 7th grade and the time I backed into my girlfriend's car while trying sneak her out of her house).

Watching Spring come in...slowly

I'm looking out at the backyard ice rink, which, like many of our glaciers, has lost about a third of its ice. But unlike with global warming, I'm not that sorry to see the ice go.

On the other hand, there is free skiing this Wednesday at Okemo if you bring three non-perishable items of food. Maybe King Winter can hold out for another week or two. Snow in the first two weeks of April is not out of the question.
