Sorry for not posting recently. We are having a great time in Spain and have been a bit truant on our blog posts; however, we have several posts in the works and hope to get them online in the next couple of days. We are currently in San Sebastian, but leaving tomorrow for Dublin (via Madrid). Lots of great stories and photos to share and apologies for the delay in getting them online.
2. Suite Francaise - Jon is partway through this book and really enjoying it. It basically is a compilation of two novellas by a Jewish writer, written during WWII but never published due to her untimely death at Auschwitz. Recommended.
In the meantime, we wanted to share two books that we are currently reading:
1. Ghosts of Spain - This is a great read about the recently history of Spain and does a great job explaining some aspects of Spanish culture. Kristi is midway through this book and Jon has already read it. Definitely recommended, especially for anyone visiting / living in Spain.
2. Suite Francaise - Jon is partway through this book and really enjoying it. It basically is a compilation of two novellas by a Jewish writer, written during WWII but never published due to her untimely death at Auschwitz. Recommended.
Suite is SO good - I just finished it a month ago - fantastic! part II is much better than part I!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Dublin. It gets a bad rap from the guidebooks, but it's one of the truly great toursit cities as measured by friendliness and camaraderie. And the countryside is even better.
ReplyDeletePS if someone asks you if you're looking for some crack (craic), it's just a gaelic term for "a good time" so no need to call Darryl Strawberry
