The Kindness of Strangers (Armchair Reading)

Summary: Stories flow well together...
Review: From the Dalai Lama's preface, right through the stories of the quest for underwear in Buenos Aires and finding a campsite in the Sahara, you feel as if you are with the writers.

My favourite, perhaps, involves the travel of a postcard and two women from the shores of Galapagos to Veneto and the people they meet.

A quick but enjoyable read.

Summary: May I Just Say "Lovely"?...
Review: This was such a lovely little book. The stories were filled with vivid descriptions of the travels and encounters of many a traveler. Some inspired laughter, others tears, and some the weird juxtaposition of the two simultaneously! Really a beautiful collection that speaks to the possibility of innate goodness across racial, religious and linguistic lines. Quite refreshing!
