TRAVEL LITERATURE & FOREIGN FILMS
Often we cannot get away from our work and our daily grind, and so the magic of film and drama of wonderful literature can serve to take us on escapes while we are still in our homes and regular lives. I offer this list as an enticement to get out there and see to those of you who are able, and as a substitute for those of you perhaps no longer able to go quite as far as you once could. Travel is part dream, part reality, and part recall after the fact. No matter how we experience it, travel and the spell it weaves will forever shape our lives and thoughts. Keep traveling!
