We have traveled a great deal. Much of it has been with
charitable groups or in connection with our work as university
teachers, and the purpose of much of it has been to try to learn
more about other cultures and about how people live and what people
think.
We are in the process of writing about what we have learned.
This may include not only our own travels, but stories from our
families. Eunice's earliest ancestors arrived in America on
the Mayflower, and among them was one of the first men run out of
Plymouth Colony as a heretic. Family records include notes
from an ancestor who fought in the Revolution. Edward's family were
part of the great wave of immigration of the late 1800's and early
1900's, so the immigrant experiences are still very much alive,
passed from parent to child.
As we draft sections, we propose to post them here. The layout will
no doubt change as our writing progresses. We do not know yet
whether there will eventually be published books resulting from the
project.

Some Places We Have Been
Here is a list of some of the places we have traveled. It is
not really a table of contents, but as we get some essays up here we
will underline the place and link to the essay. It is both
arbitrary and incomplete (e.g., including only a few US references.
See also notes at the bottom of the page.)
Many prior brief essays have been published in the Christian Science Monitor.
There is a list of Edward's essays published there, found here.
Where one of the places here is mentioned in those essays, there is
a link like this (E)
beside the place name. (E E multiple links)
We have many of our travel pictures on line; the link to

Some papers we have written in recent semesters in writing workshops
are also relevant.
(These are not yet on this site, use "Back" to return here.)
A notion of how we travel is given in "A
strategy
for travel"
and a potential piece of an section about Israel (a difficult
hospital stay) may be found in "Recovery"
The Bolivia
entry is also partial, an essay written for another purpose.
