Ignore the gray hair. Beneath the disguise, we're wandering nomads!
We
lived in Hawaii for 30 years - where Lou was a professor of
economics at the University of Hawaii and Joan was
the art critic for the Honolulu newspaper - until we
retired in 1999. What should we do next? We could
stay in our home near the beach where our retirement
years would be comfortable and familiar - or we
could go for it!
Years
later we're still traveling. We've trekked in the
jungles of New Guinea and over the mountains of
Nepal... dived into the bazaars of Tangiers and
explored the ruins of Angkor... traveled along the
Old Silk Road and taken the road to Mandalay... swum
with sea lions in the Galapagos and piranha in the
Amazon... tasted snake wine in Vietnam and guinea
pig in Ecuador.... visited Voodoo shrines in Benin
and hitch-hiked under the sun of the Kalahari
Desert. When on the road, we send travelogues every few weeks to family, friends and fellow travelers. If you'd like to be on our mailing list, please CONTACT US Joan and Lou Rose
