On Holiday: A History of Vacationing | Orvar Löfgren

pick

Took me awhile to finish (mostly because I get getting weepy about 20th century swedish vacation ideals. I went to rent a cottage on the coast like we did when I was a kid!) but very interesting. Orvar is one of the most important ethnologists in sweden and he takes you a thorough tour through the history of vacationing, from Georgian sea bathers and American national parks in the 1800s through scandinavians in the 1960s Mediterranean and beyond.

1) ethnologists are the best and most ignored and I want to be one (not hyperbole) 2) love how Linnerhielm does a "satisfying water asmr" two hundred years early.

Andrew65 Thanks. Well and truly needed after the last few weeks. Got a number of books I want to read. We drove off tonight and have now arrived in Scotland, just after midnight. Should allow for more reading time tomorrow...providing I can stay awake. One week of bliss hopefully. 7y
