Posted on March 17th, 2008 in Travel News

Several years ago, while I was living in Arusha, Tanzania, teaching English at a local secondary school, one of my jobs was to teach literature. This was not as easy as it sounds.

Traveling While Texan

Posted on March 17th, 2008 in Travel News

“I‘ve never wanted to go to Texas,” said the well-traveled Canadian in the Cuba T-shirt I met recently in Mexico. “I just think of it as Bush country and over-made up women with big hair.”

I managed a tight smile and said, “There are all kinds of people in Texas.”
