Last Days of Dogtown

3 1/2 Stars (out of 5)







If you can't travel to Gloucester, MA read The Last Days of Dogtown: A Novel by Anita Diamant.  Diamant   goes back to the 1800s and populates the now deserted Dogtown with a patchwork of  outsiders. As usual  Diamant brings the period to life with her details of daily life.

5 Stars (out of 5)









Mike Dreyfuss, Sonya Dugal and Julie Nguyen were Peace Corps volunteers in Ghana. They came in 2009. Sonya was one of my trainees. If you want to see the REAL Ghana then Peace Corps volunteers will show it to you. They know the best places to get local food and not get sick. They have traveled all over Ghana and know how to navigate the transportation system from goat carts to air conditioned buses. Pick up  The Ghana (Other Places Travel Guide) if you are planning a trip to Ghana.
