Hither Thither and Beyond

Curiosity--that’s what it’s called. By train, plane, boat, car, bus, or foot, Aloha continues her explorations of this fascinating world. A large wall map in her home tantalizes her daily to investigate this enthralling planet.
The more she travels, the more she realizes how much there is to see. Unfamiliar and unpronounceable names are the favorites choices to visit. Overcrowded destinations are left for others.
The continuation of the Silk Road in Central Asia is explored in detail. Exquisite mosaics shimmer in the sunlight although thousands of years old on buildings more ancient than our nation. Only our imagination can envision the civilizations the Mongol hordes wiped out.
So much history is bound up on the Danube River which served as the boundary in the Roman Empire. Bhutan‘s nickname is Land of the Thunder Dragon and home to towering mountains and lush green tropical heat in a compact span of 40 miles. India possesses a most complex society of people, religions, and history and was a fulfillment of a promise. Every travel book written by Aloha contains a chapter on Georgia, a small but remarkable country she has observed for nearly thirty years.
Hold on for your armchair journey learning to embrace the unfamiliar! Curiosity opens up greater opportunities for discovery and joy! Life is better when you are curious!!
