21 April - broken

In 1932, a pregnant Margret Wittmer moved with her husband and young stepson to Floreana, a small island in the Galapagos. They believed that getting out of the city and going back to nature was the only way to cure their sickly child. This is her memoir of how the family managed to survive then thrive on this basically uninhabited (at the time) island. This is a story about strong people who had more courage and fortitude than I could ever have.

3⭐. It's divided into 4 parts. I thought the 4th part was most interesting. Charlie the dog was precious. It's nonfiction taking place in 1960.

Nonfiction about an expedition to kayak the Tsangpo Gorge in Tibet. It‘s a wild story and about more than just the river.

"When I was very young and the urge to be someplace else was on me, I was assured my mature people that maturity would cure this itch."

A quick , fun read. What I LOVED was that Dan included pictures of the actual trip at the end of the book. His 13 year old self seemed like a such a sweet kid 💕

Any collection of writing runs the risk of being uneven, and this is a bit. It starts off with 2 somewhat off-putting essays, but when it gets into the travel stuff, it‘s great, especially the 100+ pages on China. The end is a little bumpy as well, but overall I found this a really worthwhile read.

Nope couldn't get into it.
