World Geography Wednesday Visits Thailand

The first time I visited a Buddhist temple was in Louisiana, at Avery Island Jungle Gardens. Its Buddha statue is around 900 years old and overlooks a lily pond with a stone bridge. Many years later, my husband… Read More

World Geography Wednesday Visits Scotland

We lived in Aberdeen for three years (my son was actually born there, so he thinks he’s Scottish), and revisiting the tartans, food, and maps of the Highlands was a true pleasure.
