This was on my top ten of 2018. Fabulous book about a immigrant from Bulgaria to Scotland and a return home. Gorgeous. Painful. Dark. Highly Recommend.

Italian Journey by Goethe

This was quite a surprising read. While I am of the generation that was required to read Faust in world literature class in college, I was at once touched and moved by Goethe's casual elegance and profound reflections on his touring Italy. It is a book that you might not have known you wanted. And if you have been to or are planning to go to Italy, it's a definite must for your TBR list. It can easily be found as a used book, so it's light on the budget, as well. Check out this NYT review from 1986. It's a fascinating read on its own: https://www.nytimes.com/1986/09/21/travel/goethe-s-italian-journey.html

An Alternative Winter Vacation: Fairbanks

We have spent various seasons in fantastic locations: Morocco, Hawaii, Singapore, Japan, San Diego, West Palm, Bermuda, Scotland, Denmark, Italy...nearly all the states and scores of countries. But one of the most amazing trips we have taken was a January trip to Fairbanks, Alaska. Believe it or not, -40 degrees is tolerable. Driving was not the challenge you might imagine. We drove to Denali and back. We drove to North Pole and back. We walked all over downtown - but in 15 minute spurts! Layers. Lots and lots of layers. This is a great discounted trip for a family with lots of things for adults, teens, and children to see and do. And believe me, there are no crowds. Only the friendliest locals. See for yourself.
