Hear great writing from Travelers’ Tales anthologies The Best Women’s Travel Writing 2009 and The Best Travel Writing 2009:
• Pamela Alma Bass considers love and loss in San Miguel de Allende.
• Carol Beddo remembers her love affair with an Ethiopian in Addis Ababa.
• Diana Cohen learns about pottery—and secrets from Spain’s dark history—in an Andalucian village.
• Laurie McAndish King hunts lions on foot, and without a gun, in Botswana.
• Ken Matusow discovers the central African playground of the Mbuti pygmies a people who seek a life of harmony with nature.
• Millicent Susens finds affirmation in rural Colorado that the unexpected event is often the most meaningful.
• Yvette Zhu braves a 1,550-mile motorbike course through China.
Also—at this event only—publisher Larry Habegger and editor Lucy McCauley will speak.
