- Keep your eyes open and you will see some changes at the Traveler’s Library in the next few weeks, as I complete
Book Shelves
the 31-day Blogging Challenge sponsored by the guru of blogging, Darren Rowse. There simply is no better source of information for bloggers on the web than Darren Rowse’s blog.
- One change that has nothing to do with the Blogging Challenge appeared a few days ago at the top of the right-hand column. Click on it and it will take you to a site called Bloggers Unite, and the description of an effort by bloggers to help Heifer International, those great folks that help people around the globe find the means to feed themselves. Be sure to cruise on over to the Traveler’s Library on Wednesday, April 29, I will present an interview with the head of Heifer’s Travel program and pass on her travel book recommendations for some of the Heifer Travel destinations. Check Heifer’s Web Site and see if you can join the fun during April events.
- Just a reminder that this coming week is (allegedly) William Shakespeare’s birthday. It is on the 23rd–or maybe the 22nd–or maybe he wasn’t even a playwright so we should forget the whole thing. Stay tuned. We’ll be talking about Shakespeare.
- Busy week , because we also have Earth Day on April 22. But you already have your reading assignments for Earth Day travels to the Southwestern United States.
Vatican Swiss Guard
- Then in May, we’ll (virtually) travel to Rome when the movie Angels and Demons premiers on the 15th. Will Rome reject the hoopla because the Vatican doesn’t care for the story, or will tourism soar?

Next, I take a flight to New Orleans for the Wine and Food Festival at the Monteleone Hotel the 20-23 of May and I will talk about some more books that belong in the Traveler’s Library for New Orleans. I may revisit the bookstores of New Orleans.
- Now, you see why I keep telling you that you should sign up for a subscription via RSS or e-mail. You don’t want to miss any of these fun discussions, and all the ones in between, do you?
